[slurm-users] Disabling --nodelist

[Henkel, Andreas]

Hi,
A spank plugin would probably work. 

A job-submit which replaces the nodelist with an empty string could work either. 

What about just changing the .profile and set the env variable for nodelist to empty string?
„Note that environment variables will override any options set in a batch script, and command line options will override any environment variables“
If the call —nodelist in sbatch-script this may solve the problem.

Beyond all that I would just contact those users and tell them not to use nodelist.
