1.4. Can we find the component help for a specific component that is already loaded ?

1. Executed command

help component ssp

    layer: 1
  inline_help:
    description: simple scheduler in perl
    usage: |-
      The simple scheduler in perl binds together software components for
      running simulations.  It is based on services and solvers: services
      provide functionality to assist the solvers to construct an
      efficient simulation run-time environment, solvers apply algorithms
      to solve the problem posed, numerically or otherwise.

1.5. Can we load a component that was already loaded ?

1. Executed command	component_load ssp
2. Expected output

1.6. Is the status of the component still correct ?

1. Executed command

help component ssp

2. Expected output


ssp:
  description: binds the software components of a simulation together
  integrator: SSP::Integrators::Commands
  module: SSP
  status: loaded
  type:
