[slurm-users] sacct end time for failed jobs

[Brian Andrus]

Hmm. I have it as an issue as well as several jobs that are in the db
without an end time, even though they are not running.
Not sure how that happened, but I do want to find a good way to clean it
up. Without and end time, sacct reports the jobs as if they continue to run
and the total elapsed time keeps growing.

Does anyone have a process they use to handle empty (aka "Unknown") end
times for jobs that are not running?
