I can see why a shell script is unattractive here. The intended multiple
copy idiom is to make Tcl lists and then access the correct element with
the "myReplica" proc, which assigns a unique, zero-based integer index to
each copy.
Silly example to initialize at multiple temperatures:
<all other keywords as normal >
set tempList [list 300.0 325.0 350.0]
temperature [lindex $tempList [myReplica]]
You can also just name your files with the indices in mind and put
myReplica in the string.
