Hello Everyone!

I have a user who is trying to exclude some hosts from their job submission and 
was using -exclude to accomplish this. He claims that he was able to do this in 
the past and the man pages state that -exclude is an option but when we include 
that argument, we receive the following error:

zentz@diamond(~)% sbatch testsumit.sh
sbatch: error: Invalid argument: --exclude=bc1node1
zentz@diamond(~)%

Here is a copy of the "testsubmit.sh"

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH --exclude=bc1node1
srun echo "test"



Is the exclude option only for specific cluster types or is there something 
else going awry?

Thanks!
