Hi, slighly off topic, but if you are willing to install and use an external program that is not part of SLURM itself, I might perhaps be allowed to advertise the python-hostlist package? Your example would be: squeue -u user123 -h -o "%N" | hostlist -c - (read as "Collapse several hostlist into one, and take the input from stdin"). You find it at: https://pypi.python.org/pypi/python-hostlist https://www.nsc.liu.se/~kent/python-hostlist/ Best Regards, -- Kent Engström, National Supercomputer Centre [email protected], +46 13 28 4444
