[slurm-users] salloc not starting shell despite LaunchParameters=use_interactive_step

[Loris Bennett via slurm-users]

Hi,

With

  $ salloc --version
  slurm 23.11.10

and 

  $ grep LaunchParameters /etc/slurm/slurm.conf 
  LaunchParameters=use_interactive_step

the following 

  $ salloc  --partition=interactive --ntasks=1 --time=00:03:00 --mem=1000 
--qos=standard
  salloc: Granted job allocation 18928869
  salloc: Nodes c001 are ready for job

creates a job

  $ squeue --me
               JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES 
NODELIST(REASON)
            18928779 interacti interact    loris  R       1:05      1 c001

but causes the terminal to block.

From a second terminal I can log into the compute node:

  $ ssh c001
  [13:39:36] loris@c001 (1000) ~

Is that the expected behaviour or should salloc return a shell directly
on the compute node (like srun --pty /bin/bash -l used to do)?

Cheers,

Loris
