You're welcome.

The code I wrote only extracts the times from the command line 
arguments, you have to do something with them.  Yes, you need to add 
code after "# now use time for something" to make your sim do 
something useful.

If you exit the script, then you are done.  That was one reason I 
chose to use both Perl and Tcl for getting these types of things 
done.  I write a simple Tcl script to run my simulation, then a I 
write a simple Perl script to run the Tcl script multiple times.  
(You can accomplish much the same thing with shell scripts, but I'm 
more comfortable with Perl).

My suggestion to you is to learn another scripting language (whether 
it be Perl, or shell, or some other) to automate running ns scripts.
