[slurm-users] Slurm 19-05-4-1 and Centos8

[Marcus Wagner]

Hi William,

a
RuntimeDirectory=slurm

should suffice.

"If set, one or more directories by the specified names will be created 
below /run (for system services) or below $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR (for user 
services) when the unit is started, and removed when the unit is 
stopped. The directories will have the access mode specified in 
RuntimeDirectoryMode=, and will be owned by the user and group specified 
in User= and Group=."

Best
Marcus

As /var/run is I think in RAM this creates the folder when the service starts.   There are other customisations for our environment in here, but I guess this may help anyone see how this is done.

Don't forget to add a .conf file to  /usr/lib/tmpfiles.d/ to make your folder persist over a reboot. I copied the munge one, suitably edited.
