<div dir="ltr">Hi,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'd like to prevent my Slurm users from taking up resources with dummy shell process jobs left unaware/intentionally.</div>
<div>To that end, I simply want to put a tougher maximum time limit for srun only.</div>
<div>One possible way might be to wrap the srun binary.</div>
<div>But could someone tell me if there is any proper way to do it, please?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Best,</div>
