[slurm-users] Re: Background tasks in Slurm scripts?

Generally speaking, when the batch script exits, slurm will clean up (ie kill) any stray processes. So, I would expect that executable to be killed at cleanup.

Good Morning;

This is not a slurm issue. This is a default shell script feature. If you want to wait to finish until all background processes, you should use wait command after all.

Thank you - I already knew this in principle, and I also know that a login shell will complain at an attempt to exit when there are leftover background jobs. I was wondering though how Slurm's task control would react... Got to try myself, I guess...

Best, S
