listed. These are intended to be site-specific plugins which can be used to set default job parameters and/or logging events. Sample plugins available in the distribution include "all_partitions", "defaults", "logging", "lua", and "partition". For examples
of use, see the Slurm code in "src/plugins/job_submit" and "contribs/lua/job_submit*.lua" then modify the code to satisfy your needs. Slurm can be configured to use multiple job_submit plugins if desired, however the lua plugin will only execute one lua script
named "job_submit.lua" located in the default script directory (typically the subdirectory "etc" of the installation directory). No job submission plugins are used by default.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Hi Michael,<o:p></o:p></p>
<div>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thanks for your message. Yes I was able to get all interactive sessions killed quickly when trying other partitions and deactivating the prolog. I read your example and I understand how it could possibly work (in the ex., maybe instead
of looking if the gpu model is passed, we could look at the number of gpu passed?), but where do i set up that function and where do i call it? <br>
Thanks,<br clear="all">

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I doubt that it is a problem with your script and suspect that there is some weird interaction with scancel on interactive jobs. If you wanted to get to the bottom of that I’d suggest
disabling the prolog and test by manually cancelling some interactive jobs. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Another suggestion is to try a completely different approach to solve your problem. Why wait until the job starts to do the check? You can use a submit filter and it will alert
the user as soon as they try to submit. That will prevent them from potentially having to wait in the queue if the cluster is busy and gets around having to cancel a running job. There is a description and simple example at the bottom of this page:

<br>
I have written a script in my prolog.sh that cancels any slurm job if the parameter gres=gpu is not present. This is the script i added to my prolog.sh<br>
<br>
<span style="font-family:"Courier New"">if [ $SLURM_JOB_PARTITION == "gpu" ]; then<br>

scancel ${SLURM_JOB_ID} fi<br>
fi</span><br>
<br>
What the code does is look at the number of gpus allocated, and if it is 0, cancel the job ID. It working fine if a user use sbatch submit.sh (and the submit.sh do not have the value --gres=gpu:1). However, when requesting an interactive session without gpus,
the job is getting killed and the job hangs for 5-6 mins before getting killed. <o:p></o:p></p>
