Are you using the job_script storage option? If so then you should be able to get at it by doing: sacct -B j JOBID https://slurm.schedmd.com/sacct.html#OPT_batch-script -Paul Edmon- On 2/16/2024 2:41 PM, Jason Simms via slurm-users wrote:

Hello all,

I've used the "scontrol write batch_script" command to output the job submission script from completed jobs in the past, but for some reason, no matter which job I specify, it tells me it is invalid. Any way to troubleshoot this? Alternatively, is there another way - even if a manual database query - to recover the job script, assuming it exists in the database?

Are you absolutely certain you’ve done it before for completed jobs? I would not expect that to work for completed jobs, with the possible exception of very recently completed jobs (or am I thinking of Torque?). Other replies mention the relatively new feature (21.08?) to store the job script in the database. Be mindful of the database implications here (I believe I have had conversations about this recently with some experienced sites on this mailing list). -- #BlackLivesMatter ____ || \\UTGERS, |---------------------------*O*--------------------------- ||_// the State | Ryan Novosielski - novosirj@rutgers.edu || \\ University | Sr. Technologist - 973/972.0922 (2x0922) ~*~ RBHS Campus || \\ of NJ | Office of Advanced Research Computing - MSB A555B, Newark `' On Feb 16, 2024, at 14:41, Jason Simms via slurm-users <slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com> wrote: Hello all, I've used the "scontrol write batch_script" command to output the job submission script from completed jobs in the past, but for some reason, no matter which job I specify, it tells me it is invalid.
