+## About the redelacSticsTool.bash
+
+This script is reponsible to set a Stics and SticsRPacks environement and 
+workspace enabling to launch an virtual experimental plan.
+
+It has to face that we can't or don't want to modify what is on the container.
+This is a prerequisite, for instance when using a container in the Galaxy context.
+
+### Requirements
+
+A javastics_path is required to enable Stics. logs, config an plnat subfolder are expected to be found there.
+
+### What the script does
+
+note that The Stics binary is used directly from the container.
+
+1. Create a home folder at the current working directory (the name is not very convenient maybe)
+2. Populate with whait is available in the container 3 subfolders logs, config and plant.
+3. But remove the config?
+4. And populate with the one of the tool, from the galaxy tool folder ( arg 4 ). this could be reconsidered.
+5. Populate with a Stics WS given as arg 5 an keep the name.
+6. Populate the WS with the csv succession plan given by arg 17.
+7. Populate the WS with param_gen.xml and param_newform.xml from the local config.
+8. Unzip the climate arg 6 Zip folder and populate the WS with the content AKA stics yearly meteo files
+9. Populate USMS, Tec, Ini, Station CSV Files frome args 7 to 10
+10. In Case of specific conf given with arg 11, folder plant is replaced and param_gen and param_newform also
+11. Launch the R Script with arg 1 telling to use the optimised facilities of SticsRPacks, arg 2 telling if parallelisation is wanted, arg 3 telling the number of slots, arg 15 giving a scenario name.
+12. Zip the result folder to arg 16
+13. If arg 14 zip the WS and give to arg 12
+
+### TODO
+
+Maybe revisiting or simplify the relation between the "base" WS, and the parameters..To provide a generique approach.
+For Instance A single parameter = the WS
