Hi,
We installed a new slurm version and it returns "command not found" for seff. I do not remember doing any manual installation for the previous versions, I thought it was coming with sacct, sbatch, ect... Any idea how I would need to set it up? I read online seff is actually a perl script. Best,

I am not sure what OS you are working with, but on our system running Rocky 9, the seff command is found in the slurm-contribs rpm.
Thanks, David

Identical situation on a SLES 15 system;
# which sacct /usr/bin/sacct # rpm -qf /usr/bin/sacct slurm-23.11.10-1.x86_64 # which seff /usr/bin/seff # rpm -qf /usr/bin/seff slurm-contribs-23.11.10-1.x86_64 # # rpm -ql slurm-contribs /usr/bin/seff /usr/bin/sjobexitmod /usr/bin/sjstat /usr/bin/smail /usr/share/man/man1/sjstat.1.gz #
Furthermore, the SPEC-file in the Slurm sources doesn't appear to have any optional build packaging around
%package contribs
so it should be being built by default, if you build RPMs.
Having said that, the top-level Makefile.am
SUBDIRS = auxdir src testsuite doc etc
doesn't explictly list "contribs" so, if you are building from the source tarball, or Git-cloned working dir, you might need to do an explcit
make contribs
to trigger things.
