It seems that the variable DOES in fact impact where slurmdbd.conf is looked for.
I discarded that option because it was only mentioned in the slurmctld section.
Thanks a ton! Sven

I'll note that the SLURM_CONF env var is listed on the sbatch docs page, so is likely not an override for all slurm commands.

I think it is --conf-dir or something. Do ./configure --help to find the correct syntax. After configure, then rebuild and slurm will now look in that new location.
There is also a SLURM_CONF env var that points to where the slurm config file is, as an override I believe...but I don't know if that applies to slurmdbd.conf as well. Worth a try maybe.

Is there a way to change the location of the slurmdbd.conf temporarily when starting slurmdbd?
For all other daemons I can specify "-f", but this doesn't seem to work for slurmdbd, is there a way to edit the build files to achieve this?
Kind Regards, Sven
