[slurm-users] Why is --cpu_bind not an option for sbatch? Why only srun?

[Brian Andrus]

If I were to hazard a guess, I would say that srun actually runs things 
whereas sbatch submits and runs a batch command.
How would sbatch get 'hostname' to run on a particular cpu?
Within sbatch, you could do that by using srun to run 'hostname'.
So it is the execution step that is where you would do that and those 
are subsets of sbatch.
