If you don’t wish to do the submission from the “somepath” directory you can
use the following sbatch option to achieve what you are looking for.
-D, --workdir=<directory>
Set the working directory of the batch script to directory before
it is executed.

Subject: [slurm-dev] Fwd: Can I stop slurm from copying a script to execution
node
I am submitting a job with sbatch /somepath/test.sh
test.sh looks for a config files and other scripts in the same path e.g.
/somepath/
/somepath/ is available to all submit and compute nodes.
but slurm copies the script to /var/lib/slurm-llnl/slurmd/etc/ before
executing it. Thus it test.sh can't find the required config and scripts.
I'm changing over from sge where adding the -b y flag to qsub would stop sge
from copying the script to the execution host.
Is there a similar solution for slurm?
