Thanks for that. I was seeing a lot of newer messages without the [slurm-dev] header. Very annoying, but as a neophyte, I was mute on the subject… ;-)

To get started, · It looks like Slurm can't find a mail program. Use $ scontrol show config | grep MailProg to see what program Slurm is looking for. · You probably want a subdirectory in /var/spool, such as /var/spool/slurm, for your state save location so that Slurm doesn't need full root privs to write to it For further help from the people on this list, please include · What version of Slurm you are using · Whether you built it yourself, or if it came from a pre-built distribution · A copy of your slurm.conf file (you might want to obscure specific node names and other data that might be used to compromise your system) Also, as noted above, much of this is covered frequently; check the mail archives for more detail. (BTW, this is generally true of open source projects; most of them have frequent "Hey, I've just started using your program, and I've run into a hurdle..." discussions. You gain immediate credibility if you start your queries with "I've got a problem, and I can't find it in the mail archive.")
