[slurm-users] Can't get --reboot to work at all with slurm-23.02?

[Heinz, Michael]

Hey, all.

So I added slurmdbd to our slurm-23.02 install and made my account an admin, 
but when I try to do a srun with --reboot it literally just sits forever, no 
errors, nothing in the logs, it just sits with the node in "CF" state until I 
cancel the job, set the node to down and back to idle again.

I tried setting RebootProgram to a script that just writes to a file in /tmp 
but the program never runs.

Any suggestions?

Make sure you have configured the RebootProgram in slurm.conf, that it 
exists on the nodes and is executable by the user.


This is usually /sbin/reboot
