<p>I am running the latest and did that, but it didn't change
anything. The jobs stay in the runaway state and no changes are
made to the database.</p>
<p>Using 18.08.2-1.</p>
<p>Maybe try updating to 19.05.0-0pre1?</p>

<p>A lot of this is automated in the new versions of slurm. You
should just need to run:</p>
<p>sacctmgr show runawayjobs</p>
<p>It will then give you an option to clean them and slurm will
handle the rest. If you add the -i option it will just clean
them automatically.</p>

<p>Hi Brian,</p>
<p>Others probably have better suggestions before going the
route I'm about to detail. If you do go this route, be warned,
you definitely have the ability to irrevocably lose data or
destroy your Slurm accounting database. Do so at your own
risk. I got here with Google-foo after being out of other
(known to me) options. Someone please save Brian having to do
what comes below ;-)<br>
</p>
<p>Last warning: I'd recommend turning off slurmdbd and backing
up the database (mysqldump) before going forward.<br>
</p>
<p>In my case, runaway jobs did not show up with `sacctmgr list
runawayjobs`. My problem was removing a user from the Slurm
database because it thought they still had active jobs. The
likely cause of this was the slurmdb daemon not shutting down
gracefully at some point. The job was long gone but it was
still in a pending state:<br>

<div class="moz-cite-prefix">In this case for job ID 899139 on
the banana cluster, the state was not updated and neither were
start or end times. I went in and manually edited the job
entries such that Slurm thought they were complete with
feasible start and end times. Again, this worked for me. I
don't know if this is your problem or not. If you choose this
route, be careful and good luck!<br>

It shows several jobs that all have "Unknown" for end_time.
Some are PENDING and some are RUNNING (none are truly in
either state). <br>
<br>
It asked to fix them, which I did, but nothing seems to have
changed. They still show up with that command and in reports.
