You prompted me to dig even deeper into my epilog. I was trying to
access a semaphore file in the user's home directory.
It seems that when the epilogue is run the ~ is not expanded in anyway.
So I can't even use ~${SLURM_JOB_USER} to access their semaphore file.
Potentially problematic for any sites with homes in different locations
or accounts with non-standard homes, but at least what I needed to do
can work.

Hi Brian,
can you maybe elaborate on how exactly you verified that your epilog
does not run when a job exceeds it's walltime limit? Does it run when
the jobs end normally or when a running job is cancelled by the user?
I am asking because in our environment the epilog also runs when a job
hits the walltime limit or is cancelled and I think this is actually
how it is supposed to work.
Best regards
