NAME

       sattach - Attach to a Slurm job step.

SYNOPSIS

       sattach [options] <jobid.stepid>

DESCRIPTION

       sattach  attaches  to  a  running Slurm job step.  By attaching, it makes available the IO
       streams of all of the tasks of a running Slurm job step.  It also suitable for use with  a
       parallel debugger like TotalView.

OPTIONS

       --error-filter[=]<task number>
              Only  transmit  standard  input  to  a single task, or print the standard output or
              standard error from a single task.  The filtering is performed locally in sattach.

       -h, --help
              Display help information and exit.

       --input-filter[=]<task number>
              Only transmit standard input to a single task, or  print  the  standard  output  or
              standard error from a single task.  The filtering is performed locally in sattach.

       -l, --label
              Prepend each line of task standard output or standard error with the task number of
              its origin.

       --layout
              Contacts the slurmctld to obtain the task layout  information  for  the  job  step,
              prints  the  task  layout  information, and then exits without attaching to the job
              step.

       --output-filter[=]<task number>
              Only transmit standard input to a single task, or  print  the  standard  output  or
              standard error from a single task.  The filtering is performed locally in sattach.

       --pty  Execute  task  zero  in  pseudo  terminal.  Not compatible with the --input-filter,
              --output-filter, or --error-filter options.  Notes: The terminal  size  and  resize
              events  are  ignored  by  sattach.   Proper operation requires that the job step be
              initiated by srun using the --pty option.

       -Q, --quiet
              Suppress informational messages from sattach. Errors will still be displayed.

       -u, --usage
              Display brief usage message and exit.

       -V, --version
              Display Slurm version number and exit.

       -v, --verbose
              Increase the verbosity of sattach's informational  messages.   Multiple  -v's  will
              further increase sattach's verbosity.

PERFORMANCE

       Executing sattach sends a remote procedure call to slurmctld. If enough calls from sattach
       or other Slurm client commands that send remote procedure calls to  the  slurmctld  daemon
       come  in  at  once, it can result in a degradation of performance of the slurmctld daemon,
       possibly resulting in a denial of service.

       Do not run sattach or other Slurm client commands that  send  remote  procedure  calls  to
       slurmctld  from loops in shell scripts or other programs. Ensure that programs limit calls
       to sattach to the minimum necessary for the information you are trying to gather.

INPUT ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Upon startup, salloc will read and handle the options set  in  the  following  environment
       variables.  Note: Command line options always override environment variables settings.

       SLURM_CONF
              The location of the Slurm configuration file.

       SLURM_DEBUG_FLAGS
              Specify  debug  flags  for  sattach to use. See DebugFlags in the slurm.conf(5) man
              page for a full list of flags. The environment variable takes precedence  over  the
              setting in the slurm.conf.

       SLURM_EXIT_ERROR
              Specifies the exit code generated when a Slurm error occurs (e.g. invalid options).
              This can be used by a script to distinguish application  exit  codes  from  various
              Slurm error conditions.

EXAMPLES

       Attach to job 15, step 0:

              $ sattach 15.0

       Limit the output to the 5th task of job 65386, step 15:

              $ sattach --output-filter 5 65386.15
