hmm, I think that's a RTFM for me, as I was looking at your example; 
thanks for the pointers again ;)

I will look that up

Perfect, that works. I tried this earlier, but I was doing something 
wrong in the template that was included as part of the hpc.yaml. need to

As a side question, is there a better way than doing the following to
