 to use this plugin, you can either edit your file "input/mg5_configuration.txt" or type in the MG5aMC shell "set cluster_type new_condor".

+=== Example 4: Change hidden parameter of the run_card to change the default behavior of running
+
+This cluster request madgraph to reduce the number of submitted jobs (and therefore submitting longer jobs).
+By setting the associated parameter in the run_card if the user did not specify those. (implemeted with/for Roberto Franscini)

+# Three types of functionality are allowed in a plugin
+#   1. new output mode
+#   2. new cluster support
+#   3. new interface
+
+# 1. Define new output mode
+#    example: new_output = {'myformat': MYCLASS}
+#    madgraph will then allow the command "output myformat PATH"
+#    MYCLASS should inherated of the class madgraph.iolibs.export_v4.VirtualExporter
+new_output = {}
+
+# 2. Define new way to handle the cluster.
+#    example new_cluster = {'mycluster': MYCLUSTERCLASS}
+#    allow "set cluster_type mycluster" in madgraph
+#    MYCLUSTERCLASS should inherated from madgraph.various.cluster.Cluster
+new_cluster = {'new_pbs': MYcluster}
+
+
+# 3. Define a new interface (allow to add/modify MG5 command)
+#    This can be activated via ./bin/mg5_aMC --mode=PLUGINNAME
+## Put None if no dedicated command are required
