<p>Paul and Chris, <br>

<p>Thanks for the information. This is the first time I had a reason
to restart the slurmd processes (instead of just 'scontrol
reconfigure) outside of a maintenance window, and wanted to be
100% sure before risk killing all the user jobs on a Friday
afternoon. </p>
<p>I'm happy to say the operation was a success. <br>

<p>Restarting slurmd should be fine assuming they come back before
the communications time out. I restart slurmd's all the time
and haven't had any real problems.</p>

Ot is possible, but double check your config for timeouts first.<br>

I'm still learning Slurm, so I have what I think is a basic
question. <br>
Can you restart slurmd on nodes where jobs are running, or
will that <br>
kill the jobs? I ran into the same problem as described
here:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3535"

<br>
I believe the best way to fix this is to restart slurmd on
all my nodes, <br>
but I've been unable to determine conclusively whether I can
do that w/o <br>
killing running jobs. I've spent some time googling this,
but couldn't <br>
find a definitive answer one way or the other. I prefer to
not kill a <br>
bunch of user jobs on a Friday afternoon.<br>
