[slurm-users] Prolog and job_submit

Thanks for helping me find workarounds.

I am not sure I understand this approach.

Are you saying that if the job_submit.lua can't directly add an
environmental variable that the prolog can see, but can add the
constraint which will become an environmental variable that the prolog
can see?
Would that work if that feature is available in all nodes?
