[slurm-users] spank plugin for sbatch

[Jeffrey Frey]

I had to figure this one out myself a few months ago.  See src/common/plugstack.c:


        /*
         *  Do not load static plugin options table in allocator context.
         */
        if (stack->type != S_TYPE_ALLOCATOR)
                plugin->opts = plugin_get_sym(p, "spank_options");


In the ALLOCATOR context you must register any CLI options using spank_options_register() inside your slurm_spank_init().  See e.g.


	https://github.com/jtfrey/ud_slurm_addons/blob/master/spank/gridengine_compat.c


and the slurm_spank_init() function therein.  The documentation page doesn't mention the fact that if you named your option list "spank_options" the plugin loader will automatically register them in non-ALLOCATOR contexts.
