I posted this question to Stack Overflow <http://stackoverflow.com/questions/25170763/how-to-change-how-frequently-slurm-updates-the-output-file-stdout> :
I am using SLURM to dispatch jobs on a supercomputer. I have set the --output=log.out option to place the content from a job's stdout into a file (log.out). I'm finding that the file is updated every 30-60 minutes, making it difficult for me to check on the status of my jobs. Any idea why it takes so long to update this file? Is there a way to change settings so that this file is updated more frequently? Using SLURM 14.03.4-2
