Dear slurm-users, My users complain about not being able to cancel array jobs (on slurm 17.11.3).
The problem is that squeue by default outputs the %i (job step id) for array
jobs, which cannot be used in scancel. What /can/ be used is %A (job id). How
can I tell users to easily find that number? There is certainly a better way
to obtain the jobid than by translating between %i and %A using:
# squeue -o '%i %A' | grep $jobstepid
Is there a way to customize the default squeue output format?
Thanks, Daan
From the man page:
%i Job or job step id. In the case of job arrays, the
job ID format will be of the form
"<base_job_id>_<index>".
%A Job id. This will have a unique value for each ele‐
ment of job arrays. (Valid for jobs only)
