I don't think so.  As far as I know, jobs go into completing state when
Slurm is cancelling them or when they exit on their own, and stays in
that state until any epilogs are run.  In my experience, the most
typical reasons for jobs hanging in CG are disk system failures or other
failures leading to either the job processes or the epilog processes
hanging in "disk wait".
