Thanks James, this is excellent. I can't get it to run at the moment,
but I think that has more to do with the IPPP Grid setup than your
script. At least, I don't think it's getting far enough to test the
script properly!

Absolutely. Let's keep that in mind and see if we can do a Grid-based
tutorial for YETI. Depending on the job latency this may be useful,
although we might/probably still want to have local Rivet installs for
smaller productions.
