Hi Ansgar,

This is indeed what I was looking for: I was not aware of PreemptExemptTime.

From my cursory glance at the documentation, it seems that PreemptExemptTime is QOS-based and not job based though. Is that correct? Or could it be set per-job, perhaps on a prolog/submit lua script?

Yes, that's correct. I guess you could create a bunch of QOS with different PremptExemptTimes and then let the user select one (or indeed select it from lua) but as far as I know, there is no way to set arbitrary per-job values.

Best,

A.
