<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Bill, <div><br><div><div>You can always set the time limit on a job array to a specific value:</div><div># scontrol update jobid=123 timelimit=45</div><div><br></div><div>You can also increment the time limit on a job array that is still in a single job record. Separate job records are spit off as needed, say when a task starts or an attempt is made to schedule the task. You can determine if a job array has more than one record with this command:</div><div># scontrol show job 123</div><div><br></div><div>If more than one record is reported, the update of time limit will not work. If a single record, then it can be updated as shown in his example:<br></div><div><div># scontrol update jobid=123 timelimit=+45</div><div><br></div><div>If the job has already been split into multiple records, then each task has to be updated individually:</div><div><div># scontrol update jobid=123_1 timelimit=+45</div><div><div># scontrol update jobid=123_2 timelimit=+45</div><div><br></div><div>Note this logic is 5 years old. My guess is you didn't notice this because the job array was previously in a single record. For now, try to set a new time limit rather than increment the time limit. SchedMD will update the documentation to reflect this. </div></div></div></div></div></div><div><br></div><div>Jacob </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Thu, Jun 13, 2019 at 6:20 AM Bill Wichser <<a href="mailto:bill@princeton.edu">bill@princeton.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"># scontrol update jobid=3136818 timelimit+=30-00:00:00<br>

This is new to 18.08.7 it appears. Am I just missing something here?<br>
