Hi Jürgen Thanks for the help 😊 TaskProlog did get the job done

The location of the TaskProlog script needs to be defined in slurm.conf, e.g. TaskProlog=/etc/slurm/task_prolog and the standard output of TaskProlog can be used to export custom environvent variables, e.g. echo "export SCRATCH=/scratch/$SLURM_JOB_USER/$SLURM_JOB_ID" There is some more information on TaskProlog in the slurm.conf man page and also here: https://slurm.schedmd.com/prolog_epilog.html Best regards Jürgen -- Jürgen Salk Scientific Software & Compute Services (SSCS) Kommunikations- und Informationszentrum (kiz) Universität Ulm Telefon: +49 (0)731 50-22478 Telefax: +49 (0)731 50-22471 * Yap, Mike <m....@massey.ac.nz> [210323 02:12]: > Hi All > > Can anyone assist the following > > We're using Bright Cluster 9.1 with CentOS 7.9 running with slurm 2.02.6 > We have a script running on prolog exporting the SCRATCH as variable for user > running job > Addition command on the script to create a user folder accordingly > > When submitting the job, the folder is created without any error on the > compute node (which indicate the prolog is being executed without an issue) > but $SCRATCH seems to be undone once the prolog script is done > We also tried to create an additional script to only export SCRATCH but no > luck > We have been using the same script for an older setup and it work fine.
