NAME
     runtimeestimator -- Batch Job Runtime Estimator

SYNOPSIS
     runtimeestimator start_file total_runs current_run

DESCRIPTION
     runtimeestimator  is  a  simple  program to estimate the total runtime of a
     batch job consisting of multiple runs. Upon initialisation, it  initialises
     a start file with a time stamp. Each time a run is completed, it prints out
     the estimated total runtime.

ARGUMENTS
     The following arguments have to be provided:

     start_file
	     The name of the start file.

     total_runs
	     The total number of runs.

     current_run
	     The current run number that has just been completed.

EXIT STATUS
     The runtimeestimator tool exits with 0 on success, and >0 in case of an er-
     ror.

EXAMPLES
     Some runtimeestimator usage examples:

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 0
	     Initialize  runtime  estimation  (i.e.  before  the first run). The
	     start file "runtime.dat" is created.

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 1
	     Completed run 1 of 100 (i.e. the first run).

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 5
	     Completed run 5 of 100.

     runtimeestimator runtime.dat 100 100
	     Completed run 100 of 100 (i.e. all runs are complete).
