[slurm-users] Setting up a separate timeout for interactive jobs

[Renfro, Michael]

I don’t. If they want to submit a job running ‘bash’ at the same priority as a regular batch job shell script, that’s on them. If and when we go to an accounting model based off reserved resources and time, it’ll handle itself.

Thanks for your response Mike. I have a follow-up question for this approach. How do you restrict someone to start an interactive session on the "batch" partition?

We have multiple partitions using the same nodes. The interactive partition is high priority and limited on time and resources. The batch partition is low priority and has looser time and resource restrictions.

And we have a shell function that calls srun —partition=interactive —pty $SHELL to make it easier to submit interactive jobs.

Hi all,

Is it possible to have a separate timeout for interactive jobs? Or can someone help me come up with a hack to do this?

Thanks
Sid
