While searching how to implement this, I found out about https://slurm.schedmd.com/prolog_epilog.html. Which lets me write a simple script to find if the job was canceled by a user or canceled to be resumed later. I just had to put these in slurm.conf: EpilogSlurmctld=/usr/local/bin/job-epilog.sh PrologEpilogTimeout=300 #seconds And write a simple script, for example: #!/bin/bash export PATH='/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin' │ logger --tag epilog --stderr $(sacct --brief --noheader --jobs="$SLURM_JOB_ID") exit 0 Then I get in syslog: epilog: 283 CANCELLED 0:0 epilog: 279 PREEMPTED 0:0 CANCELLED vs PREEMPTED, which is exactly what I wanted. Leaving this here, in case somebody else have a similar query. Cheers! -- Giovanni
