[slurm-users] How to automatically release jobs that failed with "launch failed requeued held"

[Roger Moye]

This morning we had several jobs fail with "launch failed requeued held" state.   We traced this to a failed prolog.   We fixed the problem but the jobs remained in this state.

Is there a way to configure slurm so that it will automatically release the job from the Held state so that it can run?   There were plenty of healthy nodes for this job so I'd prefer that the job not remained held indefinitely.

Thanks!
