Hi John, no, we just use the API for monitoring issues.

Marcus, Do you use the Perl API to submit jobs/request allocations, or only to query the state of jobs, etc.? If you submit jobs, how do you populate the hash that is passed as a job_desc_msg_t structure?

E.g. the array_task_str of the jobinfo structure. Slurm abbreviates longlist of array indices, like scontrol does:e.g.1-3,5-8,45-...yes, you can really find there three dots. In my opinion, this is ok fora general tool like scontrol to abbreviate the output, but it does not make any sense within a API.Does anyone know, if the C-API also abbreviates things like that?

In Perl, it's just a hash, am I supposed to populate the keys of the hash by reading the matching C structure in slurm.h? Or do I only need to populate the keys that I care to provide a value for, and Slurm assigns defaults to the other keys/fields? Thanks, >
