My reading of it is that this was added in Slurm 14.11.0pre1 and I don’t see
any changes to it later, though I could have missed it:
-- Sent SIGCONT/SIGTERM when a job is selected for preemption with GraceTime
configured rather than waiting for GraceTime to be reached before notifying
the job.
Does anyone have a similar setup that is working?

We are setting up preemption using QOS on our cluster. Documentation seems
to say that when a job is preempted it should be getting a SIGCONT and SOGTERM
when selected for preemption, and then a SIGTERM, SIGCONT, AND SIGKILL at the
end of gracetime.
We have checked all of this and we are sent the signals at the end of
GraceTime, but not when selected for preemption. We are listening for these
signals to checkpoint when preempted. We are checking for the signals both in
the script and the launched executables in case we are wrong about what catches
the signals.
I am unclear whether the problem is of my understanding of how it is
supposed to work, my configuration, or the documentation.
The doc that mentions the signals sent it
http://slurm.schedmd.com/preempt.html.
This is the qos setup:
Name GraceTime Preempt PreemptMode
---------- ---------- ---------- -----------
normal 00:00:00 cluster
sxs-lo 00:20:00 cancel
sxs-hi 00:20:00 sxs-lo cancel
/etc/slurm/slurm.conf:
…
PreemptType=preempt/qos
PreemptMode=CANCEL
…
What am I doing wrong on this?
Thanks,
