LSF accepts plain bash scripts to start jobs. Mine usually use a few for loops to run combinations of geometries with StdHep files.

for g in $(ls *.lcdd); do
for s in $(ls stdhep/*.stdhep); do
fname=$(basename ${s%.*})_$(basename ${g%.*})
bsub -o `pwd`/$fname.log -e `pwd`/$fname.err -q xlong time slic -g $g -i $i -o $fname

The stdhep directory should contain a symlink to the StdHep files used for input events.
Example LSF submission scripts can be found in Jeremy McCormick's jobs directory on the SLAC Linux machines at ~jeremym/work/jobs.

TODO: An old version works on Condor but probably not SimDist. I will get this running at NICADD.
Can I run SLIC on the Grid?
No. But I am working on it.

How can I make SLIC look for XML schemas in a local directory?
The current directory is always searched for the XSD files, first.
The GDML_SCHEMA_DIR environment variable may point to a single directory where all XSD files should be located. LCDD uses GDML for entity resolution, also, so the LCDD schemas can be placed in this directory, also.
How do I install the XML schemas to a local directory?
How can I automatically set the name of the LCIO file?
The -O switch turns on SLIC's auto-naming feature, which will give the output file a reasonable name based on the event generator used and the name (or tag) of the geometry. The /lcio/autoname command is the corresponding UI command.
How can I customize SLIC's autonaming feature?
How can I automatically delete an existing LCIO file?
