(base) [nousheen@exxact system]$ systemctl daemon-reload (base) [nousheen@exxact system]$ systemctl enable slurmctld.service (base) [nousheen@exxact system]$ systemctl start slurmctld.service (base) [nousheen@exxact system]$ systemctl status slurmctld.service ● slurmctld.service - Slurm controller daemon Loaded: loaded (/etc/systemd/system/slurmctld.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled) Active: failed (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2022-01-31 10:04:31 PKT; 3s ago Process: 18114 ExecStart=/usr/local/sbin/slurmctld -D -s $SLURMCTLD_OPTIONS (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Main PID: 18114 (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE) Jan 31 10:04:31 exxact systemd[1]: Started Slurm controller daemon.
