[slurm-users] Timeout and Epilogue

[Brian Andrus]

Absolutely, which we do, however it is difficult to simulate all the 
possible job failures/ending/cancellations in 2 minutes or at all for 
some things.

So we post on the forums both to see if this has been found out and to 
draw attention to the fact that the documentation could be improved by 
adding a bit of clarification.
