+# This script may be used to check if the Regression Test for the HAFS system
+# passed or not. The User need to specify the HAFS code directory (HAFS_dir)  
+# (usually HOMEhafs) and output (HAFS_out) directories (usually CDSCRUB) below.
+# The script lists the *.xml files under $HAFS_dir/rocoto directory and gets 
+# the different configuration names.  
+# The script looks for:
+# 1. storm1.done 2. *atcfunix.all 3. hafsprs.synoptic.f012.grb2
+# 4. dynf012.nc 5. phyf012.nc 6. the number of dyn and phy files
+# 5. hycominit2.done for coupled runs 6. post/product job done in post and prod log files 
+# 7. SUCCEEDED for completion task
