[slurm-users] spawning a new terminal for each srun

[Brian Andrus]

I believe you are referring to an interactive terminal window.

You can do that with srun --pty bash

Windows themselves are not handled by slurm at all. To have multiple 
windows is a function of your workstation. You would need multiple 
connections to the cluster (eg: multiple ssh windows with multiple ssh 
connections)

In each ssh session, execute 'srun --pty' and you will have an 
interactive session on the cluster. You would, of course, need any other 
options for partitions, timelimit, etc.


That being said, this is usually NOT the way to approach a solution via 
a cluster. Clusters are meant to be something that does all the work for 
you while you are away (hence the batch concept). You likely want to 
look at getting your code to run without human interference and send it 
off to do so.
