Hi Not an expert but I know scontrol can be used to change job parameters whilst queued. You could try this, to see if it would work.
e.g. Scontrol update jobid=<yourjobid> Dependency=afterany:<another jobid> To add a dependency to queued jobs. Or to just hold them, Scontrol hold <jobid> scontrol release <jobid> Best regards Andy Andrew Turner Senior Radiation Transport Analyst CCFE D3/1.35 Culham Science Centre Abingdon Oxfordshire OX14 3DB www.ccfe.ac.uk<http://www.ccfe.ac.uk/> From: Kumar, Amit [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 28 August 2015 14:48 To: slurm-dev Subject: [slurm-dev] As a user how can I re-order my job submissions Dear SLURM, If I am a regular user and imagine I have ton’s of jobs submitted, then I come up with another batch of jobs that I want to run before that batch I submitted few hours back that is still in the queue waiting for resources and priority. Is there a way to do this? From an admin perspective I wouldn’t want this, because users could misuse this feature. But from a user perspective I could genuinely have some dependencies that I would like to have it addressed before beginning my batch of thousands of jobs. Any help here is greatly appreciated. Regards, Amit
