I've just found out the file `/var/run/slurmdbd.pid` does not even exist.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>The pid file is the "process id" - it's only there if the process is running. So when slurmdbd is not running, it wont be there. Supposedly. Sometimes I do "touch /var/run/slurmdbd.pid" and try again?</div><div><br></div><div>I've also found that using the host's short name is preferable to localhost. Make sure the host's short name is in /etc/hosts too.</div><div><br></div><div>hostname -s <br></div><div><br></div><div>will give you the short name</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers</div><div>L.<br></div><div> </div></div></div></div>
