The Karaage cluster management software that was originally written by folks
at ${JOB-2} and which we used with Slurm at ${JOB-1} does all this.  I'm not
sure how actively maintained it is (as we have our own system at ${JOB}), but
it's on Github here:

https://github.com/Karaage-Cluster/karaage/

The Python code that handles the Slurm side of things is here:

Hope that helps!

All the best,
Chris
