It may well do, but the last commit is from 11th December 2014. Up to now I thought '--x11' was the shiny new replacement for the SPANK plugin. I have tried https://github.com/jabl/sinteractive.git but it didn't really work for me: $ sinteractive Waiting for JOBID 1551288 to start No screen session found. No screen session found. No screen session found. No screen session found. There is no screen to be detached matching slurm1551288. Connection to node001 closed. I guess I'll just have to try out some of the other forks, etc. Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email [email protected]
