Even if the content of the $job data structure is the same, perl does not enumerate hashes in a predictable order, so the individual outputs might be different order for the same data structure.

If you add:

local $Data::Dumper::SortKeys = 1;

below the “use Data::Dumper” line, you might find you get more consistent output from seff

i have installed slurm 21.08 on ubuntu 22 LTS, and database for accounting on a remote machine running same release. I got seff from: https://support.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1611https://support.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1611

but, there are errors: Use of uninitialized value $ncpus in numeric eq (==) at /usr/bin/seff line 72, <DATA> line 602. Use of uninitialized value $lmem in numeric lt (<) at /usr/bin/seff line 109, <DATA> line 602. Job ID: 14 Cluster: cathena2 Use of uninitialized value $user in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/bin/seff line 126, <DATA> line 602.

does anyone have a more recent version? i try to enable debug uncommenting the line: 60c60 < #print Dumper($job); ---

print Dumper($job);

but it's strange, because if you run the seff command several times in a row, the dump result is very different, even though the job has been completed. It doesn't change the most important values, but how is it possible not to have the same output?

Thanks in advance for help,
