[slurm-users] actual time of start (or finish) of a job

[Davide DelVento]

I have a user who needs to find the actual start (or finish) time of a
number of jobs.
With the elapsed field of sacct start or finish become equivalent for
his search.

I see that information in /var/log/slurm/slurmctld.log so Slurm should
have it, however in sacct itself that information does not seem to
exist, and with all the queries we tried Google always thinks we are
looking for something else and never returns an actual answer.

If this was a one-off I could do it for him, but he needs to script it
for his reasons and I don't want to run his script as root nor give
him access to the log files forever.

Is there a way to find this information?

Thanks
