* Changes in Slurm 14.11.7
==========================
-- Fix scancel bug which could return an error on attempt to signal
a job step.
....
Quoting Andy Riebs <andy.ri...@hp.com>:
Using Slurm 14.11.3 on an RHEL 6.5 x86_64 system, scancel has lost
the ability to cancel job steps.
For example, in one window,
$ cat script.sh
srun sleep 60
srun sleep 60
srun sleep 60
$ salloc -N2 ./script.sh
salloc: Granted job allocation 18727
Then, in another window, I expect to be able to cancel one of the job steps:
$ squeue --steps
STEPID NAME PARTITION USER TIME NODELIST
18727.0 sleep all riebs 0:37 beehive[09-10]
$ scancel 18727.0
scancel: error: slurm_kill_job2() failed Invalid job id specified
$ squeue --steps
STEPID NAME PARTITION USER TIME NODELIST
18727.0 sleep all riebs 0:58 beehive[09-10]
