I've asked this question before here : https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/slurm-devel/sZxoCJ5mAIs
The exact same error occurs even when I submit a batch job for checkpointing to SLURM as I create a file named job.script #!/bin/sh salloc -N2 srun -N2 -n4 --checkpoint 1 --checkpoint-dir /home/arjun/Ckpt ./MPIJob Then submitting it to the sbatch command like sbatch job.script still yields the same error as in the previous situation. Even the slurm.conf file is the same. Please help.
