This is an example to run jobs and especially  SLIC , the Simulator for the Linear Collider, on the FermiGrid which is part of the Open Science Grid. SLIC is a Geant4-based simulations package that uses an XML geometry input format called LCDD to describe geometry, sensitive detectors and readout geometry. 

Note! The examples are written in a way that one can just cut and paste from your browser window to the terminal session on ILCSIM. Do not cut and paste into an editor (It wouldn't work unless you remove a lot of  back slashes: \ (sad) ). Instead you can copy and edit the files that are created when cutting and pasting to the terminal window and modify them to to fit your own needs.
