Warning on that one, it can eat up a ton of database space (depending on size of environment, uniqueness of environment between jobs, and number of jobs). We had it on and it nearly ran us out of space on our database host. That said the data can be really useful depending on the situation.

Hi Steffen,
not sure if this is what you are looking for, but with `AccountingStoreFlags=job_env´ set in slurm.conf, the batch job environment will be stored in the accounting database and can later be retrieved with `sacct -j <jobid> --env-vars´ command.

What you're looking for might be doable simply by setting the AccountStoreFlags parameter in slurm.conf. [1]
Be aware, though, that job_env has sometimes been reported to grow quite large.
I see, I cannot have the cake and eat it at the same time. Given the size of our users' typical env, I'm dropping the idea for now - maybe this will come up again in the not-so-far future. (Maybe it's worth a feature request?)
Thanks everyone!
