Re-running visualization if process has failed #11
Description
Expected Behavior
If the forecast process has failed and a repeat run is requested then the visualization step should not interfere with the existing symbolic links.
Scenario1: if the failed forecast is not discovered until next day ( or even a Monday after a weekend) then the repeat of the forecast can be run using the "-d YYYYMMDD" option. However if the forecast worked on the day when this repeat is run then the "Today" symlink in the visualization directory should not change.
Scenario2: if the forecast has also failed each day since the first failure then the final symbolic link should point to the chosen day ("Today" matches the date of the simulation requested).
Scenario3: normal operation the "Today" symlink will be directed to the $rundate which is the same as the date that the forecast is being run.
Current Behavior
the Run.sh currently sets the symlink to match the requested $rundate only
Possible Solution
Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)
Context
Improve the robustness of the forecasting system to cope with unforeseen failures in supporting systems.
