[slurm-dev] Slurmdb access outside of slurm commands

2016-10-18 Thread Christopher Benjamin Coffey
Hi, We are building a webapp which will utilize data stored in the slurm msyql db. Is there anything wrong with adding a read only user that the app can use indirectly to cache statistics? I don’t see any issue with it, but I’m curious if it would get in the way of any normal slurm

I am managing a small machine but I am not sysadmin or so. For the moment Slrum is working fine but jobs are runing in a FIFO scheduling, I would like to implement priorities per user, without a DB. Is possible to do it with txt accounting? if not, can I set at least fair-sharing with *only* txt
