1) It looks like there's a way to create a daily recurring reservation by specifying "flags=daily" . How would I make a regular reservation for weekdays only?
flags=WEEKDAY Repeat the reservation at the same time on every weekday (Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday).
2) When a node enters a reservation period, is it like going into the DRAIN state where currently running jobs will be allowed to finish but no new ones will be started, or will any currently running jobs just be killed? And would the behavior be different if I'm reserving entire machines versus reserving a few cores?
Jobs aren't allowed to run into the reservation, so if their time limit would overrun they won't be allowed to start.
3) If I have jobs that I know will take a long time to run, I'd want to keep them from being started on a machine that's about to be reserved. Are there any flags I can set on the jobs to do this?
They should never be allowed into the reservation in the first place, so I think you should be fine.
