Chris, Can you explain why I can not get a prompt on a specific node while I have passed the node name to salloc?
[mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ salloc salloc: Granted job allocation 268 [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ exit exit salloc: Relinquishing job allocation 268 [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ salloc --nodelist=compute-0-2 salloc: Granted job allocation 269 [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ exit exit salloc: Relinquishing job allocation 269 [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ grep SallocDefaultCommand /etc/slurm/slurm.conf #SallocDefaultCommand = "xterm" [mahmood@rocks7 ~]$ As you can see the default SallocDefaultCommand is commented. So, I expected to override the default command. Regards, Mahmood On Sun, Dec 30, 2018 at 9:11 PM Mahmood Naderan <mahmood...@gmail.com> wrote: > So, isn't possible to override that "default"?
