this can be achieved by just adding a BatchProcess on top of your
TrainProcess -- the batch process will loop over multiple trainings

You can make a separate processing hierarchy for testing by creating
an epoch process and associated sub-processes.  Then, link this epoch
process into the final_procs of the TrainProcess and it will
automatically be run at the end of training..

You can then write a script that just sets trainprocess.epoch.max to
whatever -- you could make this based on the batch counter too.

e.g., you could create a ScriptProcess in TrainProcess.init_procs, and
enter this script:

TrainProcess* trn = *(owner->owner);
BatchProcess* bat = *(trn->super_proc);
trn->epoch.max = 100 + bat.batch.val * 10; // incr max by 10 for each batch
