Slurm-users,

I'm still learning Slurm, so I have what I think is a basic question. 
Can you restart slurmd on nodes where jobs are running, or will that 
kill the jobs? I ran into the same problem as described here:

https://bugs.schedmd.com/show_bug.cgi?id=3535

I believe the best way to fix this is to restart slurmd on all my nodes, 
but I've been unable to determine conclusively whether I can do that w/o 
killing running jobs. I've spent some time googling this, but couldn't 
find a definitive answer one way or the other. I prefer to not kill a 
bunch of user jobs on a Friday afternoon.
