Using yaml files as config files for OLMT

[jsta]

I have a pipeline where I have a json file that is parsed by jq to feed arguments to OLMT. Maybe this repo could include a script, that wraps yq to parse the proposed yaml file to do something similar?

# # my pipeline for launching a run with a json file supplying OLMT arguments
python3 ./site_fullrun.py `jq -r 'to_entries[] | "--\(.key) \(.value)"' config.json`

cat config.json
