%'cluster_command': creates the command string for launching jobs in the cluster

%INPUT:
% ListProcessFile: name of the file containing the list of processes to perform
% ActionFullName: name given to the action (function activated by series)
% DirLog: name of the folder used to store the log files from calculations
% NbProcess: number of processes in the list, these processed are grouped by the systwm into jobs dipatched to NbCore cores
% NbCore: number of computer cores to which the processes are dispatched
% CPUTimeProcess: estimated CPU time for an individual process (in min)
