Good Morning;
This is not a slurm issue. This is a default shell script feature. If
you want to wait to finish until all background processes, you should
use wait command after all.

Good morning,
yesterday I came across a Slurm (sbatch) script that, after doing some stuff
in the foreground, runs another executable in the background - and doesn't
"wait" for it to finish - literally the last line of the script is
executable &
(and that executable is supposed to take several 10 seconds or more to finish)
How would Slurm handle this? Will the end of the script immediately trigger
the job epilog, and what would happen to the leftover task? This certainly
is discussed somewhere in the manual pages and other documentation but up to
now I failed to find that place...
Thanks,
Steffen
