<p>Introduction:</p>
<blockquote>
<div><p>ECFlow is a work flow package that enables users to run a large
number of programs( with dependencies on each other and on time)
in a controlled environment. It provides reasonable tolerance for
hardware and software failures, combined with good restart capabilities.</p>
<p>ECFlow submits tasks(jobs) and receives acknowledgements from tasks
when they change status and when they send events, using child commands
embedded in the scripts. ECflow stores the relationship between tasks, and is
able to submit tasks dependent on triggers.</p>
