With Slurm you can have reservations that always start a certain
distance into the future:
TIME_FLOAT The reservation start time is relative to the
current time and moves forward through time
(e.g. a StartTime=now+10minutes will always be
10 minutes in the future).
They added that for us and we use it to reserve a node 24x7 for jobs of
less than 2 hours (we have a reasonable amount of those to be able to
justify this).
But, I can't see from the docs how that would work with the DAILY flag
to get it to repeat at the same time each day. :-(
Might be a feature request..
cheers,
Chris
