So, isn't possible to override that "default"? I mean the target node. In the faq page it is possible to change the default command for salloc, but I didn't see your confirmation.
I really have difficults with interactive jobs that use x11 or binary files or bash scripts. For some of them, srun doesn't work while salloc works. On the other hand with srun I can choose a target nide while I can't do that with salloc. Has anybody faced such issues?
