[slurm-users] Need to execute a binary with arguments on a node

[Jacek Budzowski]

Hello,

Don't use quotation marks with your command.
For example, you can execute:

srun hostname -f

but it won't work when you type:

srun  "hostname -f"

That's because it would try to execute "hostname -f" executalbe, not 
only "hostname" with "-f" as an argument.

Best regards,
Jacek
