[slurm-users] powersave: excluding nodes

[Davide DelVento]

Could it be a similar problem as the one in the "SlurmcltdHost confusion"
thread which (if you weren’t paying attention) the comma-separated syntax
doesn’t work, but repeating the thing on multiple lines achieved what that
person intended?
On the other hand, for AccountingStoreFlags the other thing was true: I had
two lines one specifying job_script and the other job_comment and only the
last one was honored until I noticed and consolidated them in one line,
comma-separating the arguments...
