function flag=waitonlock(md,executionpath,login,port)
%WAITONLOCK - wait for a file
%
%   This routine will return when a file named 'filename' is written to disk.
%   If the time limit given in input is exceeded, return 0
%
%   Usage:
%      flag=waitonlock(md,executionpath)

%Get filename (lock file) and options
executionpath=md.cluster.executionpath;
cluster=md.cluster.name;
login=md.cluster.login;
port=md.cluster.port;
timelimit=md.waitonlock;
filename=[executionpath '/' md.runtimename '/' md.name '.lock'];

%waitonlock will work if the lock is on the same machine only: 
if ~strcmpi(oshostname(),cluster),

        disp('solution launched on remote cluster. log in to detect job completion.');
        choice=input('Is the job successfully completed? (y/n)','s');
        if ~strcmp(choice,'y'), 
                disp('Results not loaded... exiting'); 
                flag=0;
        else
                flag=1;
        end

%job is running on the same machine
else

        %initialize time and file presence test flag
        time=0; ispresent=0;
        disp(['waiting for ' filename ' hold on... (Ctrl+C to exit)'])

        %loop till file .lock exist or time is up
        while (ispresent==0 & time<timelimit)
                ispresent=exist(filename,'file');
                pause(1);
                time=time+1/60;
        end

        %build output
        if (time>timelimit),
                disp('Time limit exceeded. Increase md.waitonlock');
                disp('The results must be loaded manually with md=loadresultsfromcluster(md).');
                error(['waitonlock error message: time limit exceeded']);
                flag=0;
        else
                flag=1;
        end
end
