It seems that the variable DOES in fact impact where slurmdbd.conf is looked for.

I discarded that option because it was only mentioned in the slurmctld section.


Thanks a ton!

I'll note that the SLURM_CONF env var is listed on the sbatch docs page, so is likely not an override for all slurm commands.

After configure, then rebuild and slurm will now look in that new location.

There is also a SLURM_CONF env var that points to where the slurm config file is, as an override I believe...but I don't know if that applies to slurmdbd.conf as well.  Worth a try maybe.

Hey all,

Is there a way to change the location of the slurmdbd.conf temporarily
when starting slurmdbd?

For all other daemons I can specify "-f", but this doesn't seem to work
for slurmdbd, is there a way to edit the build files to achieve this?

Kind Regards,
Sven
