Agreed.

The "terminated abnormally" message is a generic message common to many 
fatal problems. However, the "FATAL: parseConfigFile: ... failed with 
exit code..." error is specific to the pipeline configuration syntax. I 
realize that you do not care about the latter anymore, but wanted to add 
this clarification in case somebody else does.

Glad you found a solution that works well for you.
