Got it. FYI, http://slurm.schedmd.com/faq.html#prompt has the exact same FAQ entry as the llnl site, though.

Quoting Jason Bacon <[email protected]>:



Well, UW-Milwaukee is now officially a SLURM site. SLURM is now the primary RM on two clusters running CentOS 6.5 (formerly LSF) and FreeBSD 9.2 (formerly Torque).

One usage question has come up that the FAQ and Google are fuzzy on: How to open a scheduled interactive shell on a compute node.

The FAQ at https://computing.llnl.gov/linux/slurm/faq.html#prompt seems to be incomplete, stating

    srun -u bash -i

Without --pty, though, editors and the like won't work.

I came across another site suggesting

    salloc -n1 srun -n1 -N1 --pty --preserve-env $SHELL

The salloc seems redundant to me, but maybe there's some advantage I'm unaware of. Wouldn't this
be exactly the same?

    srun -n1 -N1 --pty --preserve-env $SHELL

Thanks,

    Jason
