NAME

       scontrol - Used view and modify Slurm configuration and state.

SYNOPSIS

       scontrol [OPTIONS...] [COMMAND...]

DESCRIPTION

       scontrol  is  used  to  view  or  modify  Slurm  configuration including: job, job step, node, partition,
       reservation, and overall system configuration. Most of the commands can only be executed by user root. If
       an attempt to view or modify configuration information is made by an unauthorized user, an error  message
       will  be  printed  and the requested action will not occur. If no command is entered on the execute line,
       scontrol will operate in an interactive mode and prompt for input. It will continue prompting  for  input
       and executing commands until explicitly terminated. If a command is entered on the execute line, scontrol
       will  execute  that  command  and terminate. All commands and options are case-insensitive, although node
       names, partition names, and reservation names are case-sensitive (node names "LX" and "lx" are distinct).
       All commands and options can be abbreviated to the extent that the specification is unique.

OPTIONS

       -a, --all
              When the show command is used, then display all partitions, their jobs and jobs steps. This causes
              information to be displayed about partitions that are configured as hidden and partitions that are
              unavailable to user's group.

       -d, --details
              Causes the show command to provide additional details where available.  Repeating the option  more
              than  once (e.g., "-dd") will cause the show job command to also list the batch script, if the job
              was a batch job.

       -h, --help
              Print a help message describing the usage of scontrol.

       --hide Do not display information about hidden partitions, their jobs and job steps.  By default, neither
              partitions that are configured as hidden nor those partitions unavailable to user's group will  be
              displayed (i.e. this is the default behavior).

       -M, --clusters=<string>
              The cluster to issue commands to. Only one cluster name may be specified.

       -o, --oneliner
              Print information one line per record.

       -Q, --quiet
              Print no warning or informational messages, only fatal error messages.

       -v, --verbose
              Print  detailed  event  logging.  Multiple -v's will further increase the verbosity of logging. By
              default only errors will be displayed.

       -V , --version
              Print version information and exit.

       COMMANDS

       all    Show all partitions, their jobs and jobs steps. This causes  information  to  be  displayed  about
              partitions that are configured as hidden and partitions that are unavailable to user's group.

       abort  Instruct  the  Slurm  controller  to  terminate  immediately  and  generate a core file.  See "man
              slurmctld" for information about where the core file will be written.

       checkpoint CKPT_OP ID
              Perform a checkpoint activity on the job step(s) with the specified  identification.   ID  can  be
              used to identify a specific job (e.g. "<job_id>", which applies to all of its existing steps) or a
              specific job step (e.g. "<job_id>.<step_id>").  Acceptable values for CKPT_OP include:

              able        Test if presently not disabled, report start time if checkpoint in progress

              create      Create a checkpoint and continue the job or job step

              disable     Disable future checkpoints

              enable      Enable future checkpoints

              error       Report the result for the last checkpoint request, error code and message

              restart     Restart execution of the previously checkpointed job or job step

              requeue     Create a checkpoint and requeue the batch job, combines vacate and restart operations

              vacate      Create a checkpoint and terminate the job or job step
       Acceptable values for CKPT_OP include:

              MaxWait=<seconds>   Maximum  time  for  checkpoint  to  be  written.  Default value is 10 seconds.
                                  Valid with create and vacate options only.

              ImageDir=<directory_name>
                                  Location of checkpoint file.  Valid with create, vacate  and  restart  options
                                  only.  This value takes precedent over any --checkpoint-dir value specified at
                                  job submission time.

              StickToNodes        If  set,  resume  job  on  the same nodes are previously used.  Valid with the
                                  restart option only.

       cluster CLUSTER_NAME
              The cluster to issue commands to. Only one cluster name may be specified.

       create SPECIFICATION
              Create a new partition or reservation.  See the full list of parameters below.   Include  the  tag
              "res" to create a reservation without specifying a reservation name.

       completing
              Display  all jobs in a COMPLETING state along with associated nodes in either a COMPLETING or DOWN
              state.

       delete SPECIFICATION
              Delete  the  entry  with  the  specified  SPECIFICATION.   The  two  SPECIFICATION   choices   are
              PartitionName=<name>   and   Reservation=<name>.    On   Dynamically  laid  out  Bluegene  systems
              BlockName=<name> also works. Reservations and partitions should have no  associated  jobs  at  the
              time  of  their  deletion  (modify  the  job's  first).  If the specified partition is in use, the
              request is denied.

       details
              Causes the show command to provide additional  details  where  available.   Job  information  will
              include  CPUs  and NUMA memory allocated on each node.  Note that on computers with hyperthreading
              enabled and SLURM configured to allocate cores, each listed  CPU  represents  one  physical  core.
              Each  hyperthread  on  that  core  can be allocated a separate task, so a job's CPU count and task
              count may differ.  See the --cpu_bind and --mem_bind option descriptions in  srun  man  pages  for
              more  information.   The  details  option is currently only supported for the show job command. To
              also list the batch script for batch jobs, in addition to  the  details,  use  the  script  option
              described below instead of this option.

       exit   Terminate the execution of scontrol.  This is an independent command with no options meant for use
              in interactive mode.

       help   Display a description of scontrol options and commands.

       hide   Do  not  display  partition,  job  or  jobs step information for partitions that are configured as
              hidden or partitions that are unavailable to the user's group.  This is the default behavior.

       hold job_id_list
              Prevent a pending job from beginning started (sets it's priority to 0).  Use the  release  command
              to  permit  the job to be scheduled.  Multiple job ID values may be specified separated by spaces.
              Note that when a job is held by a system administrator using  the  hold  command,  only  a  system
              administrator may release the job for execution (also see the uhold command). When the job is held
              by its owner, it may also be released by the job's owner.

       notify job_id message
              Send  a  message  to standard error of the salloc or srun command or batch job associated with the
              specified job_id.

       oneliner
              Print information one line per record.

       pidinfo proc_id
              Print the Slurm job id and scheduled termination time corresponding to the  supplied  process  id,
              proc_id,  on  the  current  node.  This will work only with processes on node on which scontrol is
              run, and only for those processes spawned by SLURM and their descendants.

       listpids [job_id[.step_id]] [NodeName]
              Print a listing of the process IDs in a job step (if JOBID.STEPID is provided), or all of the  job
              steps  in  a  job (if job_id is provided), or all of the job steps in all of the jobs on the local
              node (if job_id is not provided or job_id is "*").  This will work only with processes on the node
              on which scontrol is run, and only for those processes spawned by  SLURM  and  their  descendants.
              Note  that  some  SLURM configurations (ProctrackType value of pgid or aix) are unable to identify
              all processes associated with a job or job step.

              Note that the NodeName option is only really useful when you have multiple slurmd daemons  running
              on the same host machine.  Multiple slurmd daemons on one host are, in general, only used by SLURM
              developers.

       ping   Ping the primary and secondary slurmctld daemon and report if they are responding.

       quiet  Print no warning or informational messages, only fatal error messages.

       quit   Terminate the execution of scontrol.

       reboot_nodes [NodeList]
              Reboot  all  nodes  in  the  system when they become idle using the RebootProgram as configured in
              SLURM's slurm.conf file.  Accepts an option list of nodes to reboot.  By  default  all  nodes  are
              rebooted.   NOTE:  This  command  does  not  prevent additional jobs from being scheduled on these
              nodes, so many jobs can be executed on the nodes prior to them being rebooted. You can  explicitly
              drain  the  nodes in order to reboot nodes as soon as possible, but the nodes must also explicitly
              be returned to service after being rebooted. You can alternately create an advanced reservation to
              prevent additional jobs from being initiated on nodes to be rebooted.  NOTE: Nodes will be  placed
              in a state of "MAINT" until rebooted and returned to service with a normal state.

       reconfigure
              Instruct  all  Slurm daemons to re-read the configuration file.  This command does not restart the
              daemons.  This mechanism would  be  used  to  modify  configuration  parameters  (Epilog,  Prolog,
              SlurmctldLogFile, SlurmdLogFile, etc.).  The Slurm controller (slurmctld) forwards the request all
              other  daemons  (slurmd  daemon  on  each  compute  node).  Running jobs continue execution.  Most
              configuration parameters can be changed by just  running  this  command,  however,  SLURM  daemons
              should  be  shutdown  and  restarted  if  any  of  these  parameters  are to be changed: AuthType,
              BackupAddr,   BackupController,   ControlAddr,    ControlMach,    PluginDir,    StateSaveLocation,
              SlurmctldPort  or  SlurmdPort.  The  slurmctld  daemon  must be restarted if nodes are added to or
              removed from the cluster.

       release job_id_list
              Release a previously held job to begin  execution.   Multiple  job  ID  values  may  be  specified
              separated by spaces.  Also see hold.

       requeue job_id
              Requeue a running or pending SLURM batch job.

       resume job_id_list
              Resume  a  previously suspended job.  Multiple job ID values may be specified separated by spaces.
              Also see suspend.

       schedloglevel LEVEL
              Enable or disable scheduler logging.  LEVEL may be "0", "1", "disable" or "enable".  "0"  has  the
              same  effect  as "disable". "1" has the same effect as "enable".  This value is temporary and will
              be overwritten when the slurmctld daemon reads the slurm.conf configuration file  (e.g.  when  the
              daemon  is  restarted  or scontrol reconfigure is executed) if the SlurmSchedLogLevel parameter is
              present.

       script Causes the show job command to list the batch script for batch jobs  in  addition  to  the  detail
              information described under the details option above.

       setdebug LEVEL
              Change  the  debug  level of the slurmctld daemon.  LEVEL may be an integer value between zero and
              nine (using the same values as SlurmctldDebug in the slurm.conf file) or  the  name  of  the  most
              detailed  message  type  to  be  printed:  "quiet",  "fatal", "error", "info", "verbose", "debug",
              "debug2", "debug3", "debug4", or "debug5".  This  value  is  temporary  and  will  be  overwritten
              whenever  the  slurmctld  daemon  reads the slurm.conf configuration file (e.g. when the daemon is
              restarted or scontrol reconfigure is executed).

       setdebugflags [+|-]FLAG
              Add or remove DebugFlags of the slurmctld daemon.  See "man slurm.conf" for a  list  of  supported
              DebugFlags.   NOTE:  Changing  the value of some DebugFlags will have no effect without restarting
              the slurmctld daemon, which would set  DebugFlags  based  upon  the  contents  of  the  slurm.conf
              configuration file.

       show ENTITY ID
              Display  the  state  of  the  specified  entity  with the specified identification.  ENTITY may be
              aliases, config, daemons, frontend, job, node, partition,  reservation,  slurmd,  step,  topology,
              hostlist,  hostlistsorted  or hostnames (also block or submp on BlueGene systems).  ID can be used
              to identify a specific element of the identified entity: the configuration parameter name, job ID,
              node name, partition name, reservation name, or job step ID for config, job, node,  partition,  or
              step  respectively.   For an ENTITY of topology, the ID may be a node or switch name.  If one node
              name is specified, all switches connected to that node (and their parent switches) will be  shown.
              If  more  than  one  node name is specified, only switches that connect to all named nodes will be
              shown.  aliases will return all NodeName values associated to a given NodeHostname (useful to  get
              the  list  of  virtual  nodes associated with a real node in a configuration where multiple slurmd
              daemons execute on a single compute node).  config displays parameter names from the configuration
              files in mixed case (e.g. SlurmdPort=7003) while derived parameters names are in upper  case  only
              (e.g.  SLURM_VERSION).  hostnames takes an optional hostlist expression as input and writes a list
              of individual host names to standard output (one per line). If no hostlist expression is supplied,
              the contents of the SLURM_NODELIST environment variable is used. For example "tux[1-3]" is  mapped
              to  "tux1","tux2"  and  "tux3"  (one  hostname per line).  hostlist takes a list of host names and
              prints the hostlist expression for them (the inverse of hostnames).  hostlist can  also  take  the
              absolute  pathname  of  a  file (beginning with the character '/') containing a list of hostnames.
              Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range expressions (e.g.  "lx[10-20]").  All
              other  ID  values must identify a single element. The job step ID is of the form "job_id.step_id",
              (e.g. "1234.1").  slurmd reports the current status of the slurmd daemon  executing  on  the  same
              node  from  which  the scontrol command is executed (the local host). It can be useful to diagnose
              problems.  By default hostlist does not sort the node list or make it unique (e.g.  tux2,tux1,tux2
              = tux[2,1-2]).  If you wanted a sorted list use hostlistsorted (e.g. tux2,tux1,tux2 = tux[1-2,2]).
              By  default,  all elements of the entity type specified are printed.  For an ENTITY of job, if the
              job does not specify socket-per-node, cores-per-socket or threads-per-core then  it  will  display
              '*' in ReqS:C:T=*:*:* field.

       shutdown OPTION
              Instruct  Slurm  daemons  to  save  current state and terminate.  By default, the Slurm controller
              (slurmctld) forwards the request all other daemons (slurmd  daemon  on  each  compute  node).   An
              OPTION  of  slurmctld  or  controller  results in only the slurmctld daemon being shutdown and the
              slurmd daemons remaining active.

       suspend job_id_list
              Suspend a running job.  Multiple job ID values may be specified  separated  by  spaces.   Use  the
              resume command to resume its execution.  User processes must stop on receipt of SIGSTOP signal and
              resume  upon  receipt  of  SIGCONT  for this operation to be effective.  Not all architectures and
              configurations support job suspension.

       takeover
              Instruct SLURM's backup controller (slurmctld)  to  take  over  system  control.   SLURM's  backup
              controller  requests  control  from  the  primary  and  waits  for its termination. After that, it
              switches from backup mode to controller mode. If primary  controller  can  not  be  contacted,  it
              directly  switches to controller mode. This can be used to speed up the SLURM controller fail-over
              mechanism when the primary node is down.  This can be used to minimize disruption if the  computer
              executing  the primary SLURM controller is scheduled down.  (Note: SLURM's primary controller will
              take the control back at startup.)

       uhold job_id_list
              Prevent a pending job from being started (sets it's priority to 0).  Multiple job ID values may be
              specified separated by spaces.  Use the release command to permit the job to be  scheduled.   This
              command  is designed for a system administrator to hold a job so that the job owner may release it
              rather than requiring the intervention of a system administrator (also see the hold command).

       update SPECIFICATION
              Update job, step, node, partition, or reservation configuration per  the  supplied  specification.
              SPECIFICATION  is  in  the  same format as the Slurm configuration file and the output of the show
              command described above. It may be desirable to execute the show command (described above) on  the
              specific  entity  you which to update, then use cut-and-paste tools to enter updated configuration
              values to the update. Note that while most configuration values can be changed using this command,
              not all can be changed using this mechanism. In particular, the hardware configuration of  a  node
              or  the  physical  addition  or removal of nodes from the cluster may only be accomplished through
              editing the Slurm configuration file and executing the reconfigure command (described above).

       verbose
              Print detailed event logging.  This includes time-stamps on data structures, record counts, etc.

       version
              Display the version number of scontrol being executed.

       wait_job job_id
              Wait until a job andall of its nodes are ready for use or the job  has  entered  some  termination
              state.  This  option  is  particularly useful in the SLURM Prolog or in the batch script itself if
              nodes are powered down and restarted automatically as needed.

       !!     Repeat the last command executed.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR UPDATE COMMAND, JOBS

       Account=<account>
              Account name to be changed for this job's resource use.  Value may  be  cleared  with  blank  data
              value, "Account=".

       Conn-Type=<type>
              Reset  the node connection type.  Possible values on Blue Gene are "MESH", "TORUS" and "NAV" (mesh
              else torus).

       Contiguous=<yes|no>
              Set the job's requirement for contiguous (consecutive) nodes to be allocated.  Possible values are
              "YES" and "NO".  Only the Slurm administrator or root can change this parameter.

       Dependency=<dependency_list>
              Defer job's  initiation  until  specified  job  dependency  specification  is  satisfied.   Cancel
              dependency  with  an empty dependency_list (e.g. "Dependency=").  <dependency_list> is of the form
              <type:job_id[:job_id][,type:job_id[:job_id]]>.  Many jobs can share the same dependency and  these
              jobs may even belong to different  users.

              after:job_id[:jobid...]
                     This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have begun execution.

              afterany:job_id[:jobid...]
                     This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have terminated.

              afternotok:job_id[:jobid...]
                     This  job can begin execution after the specified jobs have terminated in some failed state
                     (non-zero exit code, node failure, timed out, etc).

              afterok:job_id[:jobid...]
                     This job can begin execution after the specified jobs have successfully  executed  (ran  to
                     completion with an exit code of zero).

              singleton
                     This  job  can begin execution after any previously launched jobs sharing the same job name
                     and user have terminated.

       EligibleTime=<time_spec>
              See StartTime.

       ExcNodeList=<nodes>
              Set the job's list of excluded node. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node  range
              expressions (e.g. "lx[10-20]").  Value may be cleared with blank data value, "ExcNodeList=".

       Features=<features>
              Set  the  job's  required  node features.  The list of features may include multiple feature names
              separated   by   ampersand   (AND)   and/or   vertical   bar   (OR)   operators.    For   example:
              Features="opteron&video"  or Features="fast|faster".  In the first example, only nodes having both
              the feature "opteron" AND the feature "video" will be used.  There is no mechanism to specify that
              you want one node with feature "opteron" and another node with feature "video" in case no node has
              both features.  If only one of a set of possible options should be used for all  allocated  nodes,
              then  use  the  OR  operator  and  enclose  the  options  within  square  brackets.   For example:
              "Features=[rack1|rack2|rack3|rack4]" might be used to specify that all nodes must be allocated  on
              a single rack of the cluster, but any of those four racks can be used.  A request can also specify
              the  number of nodes needed with some feature by appending an asterisk and count after the feature
              name.  For example "Features=graphics*4" indicates that at least four allocated  nodes  must  have
              the  feature  "graphics."   Constraints  with node counts may only be combined with AND operators.
              Value may be cleared with blank data value, for example "Features=".

       Geometry=<geo>
              Reset the required job geometry.  On Blue Gene the value should be three digits separated  by  "x"
              or ",". The digits represent the allocation size in X, Y and Z dimensions (e.g. "2x3x4").

       Gres=<list>
              Specifies a comma delimited list of generic consumable resources.  The format of each entry on the
              list  is  "name[:count[*cpu]]".   The  name  is that of the consumable resource.  The count is the
              number of those resources with a default value of 1.  The specified resources will be allocated to
              the job on each node allocated unless "*cpu" is appended, in which  case  the  resources  will  be
              allocated  on  a per cpu basis.  The available generic consumable resources is configurable by the
              system administrator.  A list of available generic consumable resources will be  printed  and  the
              command   will   exit   if   the   option   argument   is   "help".    Examples   of  use  include
              "Gres=gpus:2*cpu,disk=40G" and "Gres=help".

       JobId=<id>
              Identify the job to be updated. This specification is required.

       Licenses=<name>
              Specification of licenses (or other resources available on all nodes of the cluster) as  described
              in salloc/sbatch/srun man pages.

       MinCPUsNode=<count>
              Set  the  job's  minimum  number  of  CPUs  per  node  to  the  specified  value.   Only the Slurm
              administrator or root can change this parameter.

       MinMemoryCPU=<megabytes>
              Set the job's minimum real memory required per allocated CPU to  the  specified  value.  Only  the
              Slurm  administrator  or root can change this parameter.  Either MinMemoryCPU or MinMemoryNode may
              be set, but not both.

       MinMemoryNode=<megabytes>
              Set the job's minimum real memory required per node to the specified value.   Either  MinMemoryCPU
              or  MinMemoryNode  may be set, but not both.  Only the Slurm administrator or root can change this
              parameter.

       MinTmpDiskNode=<megabytes>
              Set the job's minimum temporary disk space required per node to the  specified  value.   Only  the
              Slurm administrator or root can change this parameter.

       Name=<name>
              Set the job's name to the specified value.

       Nice[=delta]
              Adjust  job's priority by the specified value. Default value is 100.  The adjustment range is from
              -10000 (highest priority) to 10000 (lowest priority).  Nice value changes are  not  additive,  but
              overwrite any prior nice value and are applied to the job's base priority.  Only privileged users,
              Slurm administrator or root, can specify a negative adjustment.

       NodeList=<nodes>
              Change the nodes allocated to a running job to shrink it's size.  The specified list of nodes must
              be  a  subset  of  the  nodes currently allocated to the job. Multiple node names may be specified
              using simple node range expressions (e.g. "lx[10-20]").  After  a  job's  allocation  is  reduced,
              subsequent  srun commands must explicitly specify node and task counts which are valid for the new
              allocation.

       NumCPUs=<min_count>[-<max_count>]
              Set the job's minimum and optionally maximum count of CPUs to be allocated.

       NumNodes=<min_count>[-<max_count>]
              Set the job's minimum and optionally maximum count of nodes  to  be  allocated.   If  the  job  is
              already  running,  use  this  to  specify a node count less than currently allocated and resources
              previously allocated to the job will  be  relinquished.  After  a  job's  allocation  is  reduced,
              subsequent  srun commands must explicitly specify node and task counts which are valid for the new
              allocation. Also see the NodeList parameter above.

       NumTasks=<count>
              Set the job's count of required tasks to the specified value.

       Partition=<name>
              Set the job's partition to the specified value.

       Priority=<number>
              Set the job's priority to the specified value.  Note that a job priority of zero prevents the  job
              from ever being scheduled.  By setting a job's priority to zero it is held.  Set the priority to a
              non-zero value to permit it to run.  Explicitly setting a job's priority clears any previously set
              nice  value  and removes the priority/multifactor plugin's ability to manage a job's priority.  In
              order to restore the priority/multifactor plugin's ability to manage a job's  priority,  hold  and
              then release the job.  Only the Slurm administrator or root can increase job's priority.

       QOS=<name>
              Set  the  job's  QOS (Quality Of Service) to the specified value.  Value may be cleared with blank
              data value, "QOS=".

       ReqCores=<count>
              Set the job's count of cores per socket to the specified value.

       ReqNodeList=<nodes>
              Set the job's list of required node. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node  range
              expressions (e.g. "lx[10-20]").  Value may be cleared with blank data value, "ReqNodeList=".

       ReqSockets=<count>
              Set the job's count of sockets per node to the specified value.

       ReqThreads=<count>
              Set the job's count of threads per core to the specified value.

       Requeue=<0|1>
              Stipulates whether a job should be requeued after a node failure: 0 for no, 1 for yes.

       ReservationName=<name>
              Set  the  job's  reservation  to the specified value.  Value may be cleared with blank data value,
              "ReservationName=".

       Rotate=<yes|no>
              Permit the job's geometry to be rotated.  Possible values are "YES" and "NO".

       Shared=<yes|no>
              Set the job's ability to share nodes with other jobs. Possible values are "YES" and "NO". Only the
              Slurm administrator or root can increase job's priority.

       StartTime=<time_spec>
              Set the job's earliest initiation time.  It accepts times of the form HH:MM:SS to run a job  at  a
              specific  time  of  day  (seconds  are  optional).  (If that time is already past, the next day is
              assumed.)  You may also specify midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and you can  have  a  time-of-day
              suffixed  with  AM or PM for running in the morning or the evening.  You can also say what day the
              job will be run, by specifying a date of the form MMDDYY or MM/DD/YY or MM.DD.YY, or  a  date  and
              time  as  YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM[:SS]].  You can also give times like now + count time-units, where the
              time-units can be minutes, hours, days, or weeks and you can tell SLURM to run the job today  with
              the keyword today and to run the job tomorrow with the keyword tomorrow.

              Notes on date/time specifications:
               -  although  the  'seconds' field of the HH:MM:SS time specification is allowed by the code, note
              that the poll time of the SLURM scheduler is not precise enough to guarantee dispatch of  the  job
              on  the  exact second.  The job will be eligible to start on the next poll following the specified
              time. The exact poll interval depends on the SLURM scheduler (e.g., 60 seconds  with  the  default
              sched/builtin).
               - if no time (HH:MM:SS) is specified, the default is (00:00:00).
               -  if  a  date is specified without a year (e.g., MM/DD) then the current year is assumed, unless
              the combination of MM/DD and HH:MM:SS has already passed for that year, in  which  case  the  next
              year is used.

       Switches=<count>[@<max-time-to-wait>]
              When  a  tree  topology  is  used,  this defines the maximum count of switches desired for the job
              allocation. If SLURM finds an allocation containing more switches than the  count  specified,  the
              job remain pending until it either finds an allocation with desired switch count or the time limit
              expires.  By default there is no switch count limit and no time limit delay. Set the count to zero
              in order to clean any previously set count (disabling the limit).  The job's  maximum  time  delay
              may  be  limited by the system administrator using the SchedulerParameters configuration parameter
              with the max_switch_wait parameter option.  Also see wait-for-switch.

       TimeLimit=<time>
              The job's time limit.  Output format is [days-]hours:minutes:seconds or "UNLIMITED".  Input format
              (for  update  command)  set  is  minutes,  minutes:seconds,   hours:minutes:seconds,   days-hours,
              days-hours:minutes or days-hours:minutes:seconds.  Time resolution is one minute and second values
              are rounded up to the next minute.  If changing the time limit of a job, either specify a new time
              limit value or precede the time with a "+" or "-" to increment or decrement the current time limit
              (e.g.  "TimeLimit=+30").  In  order  to  increment  or decrement the current time limit, the JobId
              specification must precede the TimeLimit specification.  Only the Slurm administrator or root  can
              increase job's TimeLimit.

       wait-for-switch=<max-time-to-wait>
              When  a  tree  topology  is  used, this defines the  maximum time to wait for the desired count of
              switches. If SLURM finds an allocation containing more switches than the count specified, the  job
              remain  pending  until  it  either finds an allocation with desired switch count or the time limit
              expires. By default there is no switch count limit and there is not time delay. Set  the  time  to
              zero  in  order  to  clean any previously set time limit (disabling the limit).  The job's maximum
              time delay may be limited by the system administrator using the SchedulerParameters  configuration
              parameter with the max_switch_wait parameter option.  Also see Switches.

       WCKey=<key>
              Set the job's workload characterization key to the specified value.

       NOTE: The "show" command, when used with the "job" or "job <jobid>"
              entity  displays  detailed  information  about  a  job  or  jobs.  Much of this information may be
              modified using the "update job"  command  as  described  above.   However,  the  following  fields
              displayed by the show job command are read-only and cannot be modified:

       AllocNode:Sid
              Local node and system id making the resource allocation.

       EndTime
              The  time  the  job  is  expected  to  terminate based on the job's time limit.  When the job ends
              sooner, this field will be updated with the actual end time.

       ExitCode=<exit>:<sig>
              Exit status reported for the job by the wait() function.  The  first  number  is  the  exit  code,
              typically  as set by the exit() function.  The second number of the signal that caused the process
              to terminate if it was terminated by a signal.

       JobState
              The current state of the job.

       NodeList
              The list of nodes allocated to the job.

       NodeListIndices
              The NodeIndices expose the internal indices into  the  node  table  associated  with  the  node(s)
              allocated to the job.

       PreemptTime
              Time  at  which  job  was  signaled  that  it  was  selected for preemption.  (Meaningful only for
              PreemptMode=CANCEL and the partition or QOS with which the job is associated has a GraceTime value
              designated.)

       PreSusTime
              Time the job ran prior to last suspend.

       Reason The reason job is not running: e.g., waiting "Resources".

       SubmitTime
              The time  and  date stamp (in Universal Time Coordinated, UTC) the job was submitted.  The  format
              of the output is identical to that of the EndTime field.

              NOTE:  If  a  job is requeued, the submit time is reset.  To obtain the original submit time it is
              necessary to use the "sacct -j <job_id[.<step_id>]" command also designating the -D or --duplicate
              option to display all duplicate entries for a job.

       SuspendTime
              Time the job was last suspended or resumed.

       UserId  GroupId
              The user and group under which the job was submitted.

       NOTE on information displayed for various job states:
              When you submit a request for the "show job" function the scontrol process makes  an  RPC  request
              call  to slurmctld with a REQUEST_JOB_INFO message type.  If the state of the job is PENDING, then
              it returns some detail information such as: min_nodes, min_procs, cpus_per_task, etc. If the state
              is other than PENDING the code assumes that it is in a further state such  as  RUNNING,  COMPLETE,
              etc.  In  these  cases  the  code  explicitly  returns  zero  for  these  values. These values are
              meaningless once the job resources have been allocated and the job has started.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR UPDATE COMMAND, STEPS

       StepId=<job_id>[.<step_id>]
              Identify the step to be updated.  If the job_id is given, but no step_id  is  specified  then  all
              steps of the identified job will be modified.  This specification is required.

       CompFile=<completion file>
              Update  a step with information about a steps completion.  Can be useful if step statistics aren't
              directly available through a jobacct_gather plugin.  The  file  is  a  space-delimited  file  with
              format for Version 1 is as follows

              1 34461 0 2 0 3 1361906011 1361906015 1 1 3368 13357 /bin/sleep
              A B     C D E F G          H          I J K    L     M

              Field Descriptions:

              A file version
              B ALPS apid
              C inblocks
              D outblocks
              E exit status
              F number of allocated CPUs
              G start time
              H end time
              I utime
              J stime
              K maxrss
              L uid
              M command name

       TimeLimit=<time>
              The job's time limit.  Output format is [days-]hours:minutes:seconds or "UNLIMITED".  Input format
              (for   update   command)  set  is  minutes,  minutes:seconds,  hours:minutes:seconds,  days-hours,
              days-hours:minutes or days-hours:minutes:seconds.  Time resolution is one minute and second values
              are rounded up to the next minute.  If changing the time limit of a step,  either  specify  a  new
              time  limit value or precede the time with a "+" or "-" to increment or decrement the current time
              limit (e.g. "TimeLimit=+30"). In order to increment or  decrement  the  current  time  limit,  the
              StepId specification must precede the TimeLimit specification.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR UPDATE COMMAND, NODES

       NodeName=<name>
              Identify  the  node(s) to be updated. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range
              expressions (e.g. "lx[10-20]"). This specification is required.

       Features=<features>
              Identify feature(s) to be associated with the specified node.  Any previously  defined  feature(s)
              will  be  overwritten with the new value.  Features assigned via scontrol will only persist across
              the restart of the slurmctld daemon with the -R option and state files  preserved  or  slurmctld's
              receipt  of  a  SIGHUP.   Update  slurm.conf with any changes meant to be persistent across normal
              restarts of slurmctld or the execution of scontrol reconfig.

       Gres=<gres>
              Identify generic resources to be associated with  the  specified  node.   Any  previously  defined
              generic  resources  will  be  overwritten with the new value.  Specifications for multiple generic
              resources should be comma separated.  Each resource specification consists of a name  followed  by
              an  optional colon with a numeric value (default value is one) (e.g. "Gres=bandwidth:10000,gpus").
              Generic resources assigned via scontrol will only persist across  the  restart  of  the  slurmctld
              daemon  with  the  -R option and state files preserved or slurmctld's receipt of a SIGHUP.  Update
              slurm.conf with any changes meant to be persistent across normal  restarts  of  slurmctld  or  the
              execution of scontrol reconfig.

       Reason=<reason>
              Identify  the  reason  the  node is in a "DOWN". "DRAINED", "DRAINING", "FAILING" or "FAIL" state.
              Use quotes to enclose a reason having more than one word.

       State=<state>
              Identify the  state  to  be  assigned  to  the  node.  Possible  values  are   "NoResp",  "ALLOC",
              "ALLOCATED",   "DOWN",   "DRAIN",  "FAIL",  "FAILING",  "IDLE",  "MIXED",  "MAINT",  "POWER_DOWN",
              "POWER_UP", or "RESUME".  If a node is in a "MIXED" state it usually means the node is in multiple
              states.  For instance if only part of the node is "ALLOCATED" and the rest of the node  is  "IDLE"
              the  state  will be "MIXED".  If you want to remove a node from service, you typically want to set
              it's state to "DRAIN".  "FAILING" is similar to "DRAIN" except that some applications will seek to
              relinquish those nodes before the job completes.  "RESUME" is not an actual node state,  but  will
              return  a  "DRAINED", "DRAINING", or "DOWN" node to service, either "IDLE" or "ALLOCATED" state as
              appropriate.  Setting a node "DOWN" will cause all running and suspended jobs on that node  to  be
              terminated.   "POWER_DOWN"  and  "POWER_UP"  will  use  the  configured SuspendProg and ResumeProg
              programs to explicitly place a node in or out of a power saving mode.   The  "NoResp"  state  will
              only  set  the  "NoResp"  flag for a node without changing its underlying state.  While all of the
              above states are valid, some of them are not valid new node states given their  prior  state.   If
              the  node  state  code printed is followed by "~", this indicates the node is presently in a power
              saving mode (typically running at reduced frequency).  If the node state code is followed by  "#",
              this  indicates  the  node  is  presently being powered up or configured.  Generally only "DRAIN",
              "FAIL" and "RESUME" should be used.  NOTE: The scontrol command should not be used to change  node
              state on Cray systems. Use Cray tools such as xtprocadmin instead.

       Weight=<weight>
              Identify  weight  to  be  associated  with  specified nodes. This allows dynamic changes to weight
              associated with nodes, which will be used for the subsequent node  allocation  decisions.   Weight
              assigned  via  scontrol  will  only persist across the restart of the slurmctld daemon with the -R
              option and state files preserved or slurmctld's receipt of a SIGHUP.  Update slurm.conf  with  any
              changes  meant  to  be persistent across normal restarts of slurmctld or the execution of scontrol
              reconfig.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR UPDATE COMMAND, FRONTEND

       FrontendName=<name>
              Identify the front end node to be updated. This specification is required.

       Reason=<reason>
              Identify the reason the node is in a "DOWN" or "DRAIN" state.  Use  quotes  to  enclose  a  reason
              having more than one word.

       State=<state>
              Identify  the  state  to be assigned to the front end node. Possible values are "DOWN", "DRAIN" or
              "RESUME".  If you want to remove a front end node from service, you typically  want  to  set  it's
              state  to "DRAIN".  "RESUME" is not an actual node state, but will return a "DRAINED", "DRAINING",
              or "DOWN" front end node to service, either "IDLE" or "ALLOCATED" state as appropriate.  Setting a
              front end node "DOWN" will cause all running and suspended jobs on that node to be terminated.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR CREATE, UPDATE, AND DELETE COMMANDS, PARTITIONS

       AllowGroups=<name>
              Identify the user groups which may use this partition.  Multiple groups  may  be  specified  in  a
              comma separated list.  To permit all groups to use the partition specify "AllowGroups=ALL".

       AllocNodes=<name>
              Comma  separated list of nodes from which users can execute jobs in the partition.  Node names may
              be specified using the node range expression syntax described above.  The default value is "ALL".

       Alternate=<partition name>
              Alternate partition to be used if the state of this partition is "DRAIN" or "INACTIVE."  The value
              "NONE" will clear a previously set alternate partition.

       Default=<yes|no>
              Specify if this partition is to be used by jobs which do not explicitly identify  a  partition  to
              use.   Possible  output  values are "YES" and "NO".  In order to change the default partition of a
              running system, use the scontrol update command and set Default=yes for  the  partition  that  you
              want to become the new default.

       DefaultTime=<time>
              Run  time  limit  used  for jobs that don't specify a value. If not set then MaxTime will be used.
              Format is the same as for MaxTime.

       DefMemPerCPU=<MB>
              Set the default memory to be allocated per CPU for jobs in this partition.   The  memory  size  is
              specified in megabytes.

       DefMemPerCNode=<MB>
              Set  the  default  memory to be allocated per node for jobs in this partition.  The memory size is
              specified in megabytes.

       DisableRootJobs=<yes|no>
              Specify if jobs can be executed as user root.  Possible values are "YES" and "NO".

       GraceTime=<seconds>
              Specifies, in units of seconds, the preemption grace time to be extended to a job which  has  been
              selected  for  preemption.  The default value is zero, no preemption grace time is allowed on this
              partition or qos.  (Meaningful only for PreemptMode=CANCEL)

       Hidden=<yes|no>
              Specify if the partition and its jobs should be hidden  from  view.   Hidden  partitions  will  by
              default not be reported by SLURM APIs or commands.  Possible values are "YES" and "NO".

       MaxMemPerCPU=<MB>
              Set  the  maximum  memory  to be allocated per CPU for jobs in this partition.  The memory size is
              specified in megabytes.

       MaxMemPerCNode=<MB>
              Set the maximum memory to be allocated per node for jobs in this partition.  The  memory  size  is
              specified in megabytes.

       MaxNodes=<count>
              Set  the  maximum  number  of  nodes  which  will be allocated to any single job in the partition.
              Specify a number, "INFINITE" or "UNLIMITED".  (On a Bluegene type system this represents a  c-node
              count.)   Changing  the  MaxNodes  of  a partition has no effect upon jobs that have already begun
              execution.

       MaxTime=<time>
              The maximum run time for jobs.  Output  format  is  [days-]hours:minutes:seconds  or  "UNLIMITED".
              Input  format (for update command) is minutes, minutes:seconds, hours:minutes:seconds, days-hours,
              days-hours:minutes or days-hours:minutes:seconds.  Time resolution is one minute and second values
              are rounded up to the next minute.  Changing the MaxTime of a partition has no  effect  upon  jobs
              that have already begun execution.

       MinNodes=<count>
              Set  the minimum number of nodes which will be allocated to any single job in the partition.   (On
              a Bluegene type system this represents a c-node count.)  Changing the MinNodes of a partition  has
              no effect upon jobs that have already begun execution.

       Nodes=<name>
              Identify  the  node(s)  to be associated with this partition. Multiple node names may be specified
              using simple node range expressions (e.g. "lx[10-20]").  Note that jobs  may  only  be  associated
              with  one partition at any time.  Specify a blank data value to remove all nodes from a partition:
              "Nodes=".  Changing the Nodes in a partition has no effect  upon  jobs  that  have  already  begun
              execution.

       PartitionName=<name>
              Identify the partition to be updated. This specification is required.

       PreemptMode=<mode>
              Reset  the  mechanism  used  to  preempt  jobs  in  this partition if PreemptType is configured to
              preempt/partition_prio.  The  default  preemption  mechanism  is  specified  by  the  cluster-wide
              PreemptMode configuration parameter.  Possible values are "OFF", "CANCEL", "CHECKPOINT", "REQUEUE"
              and "SUSPEND".

       Priority=<count>
              Jobs  submitted  to  a  higher  priority partition will be dispatched before pending jobs in lower
              priority partitions and if possible they will preempt running jobs from lower priority partitions.
              Note that a partition's priority takes precedence over a job's priority.  The value may not exceed
              65533.

       RootOnly=<yes|no>
              Specify if only allocation requests initiated by user root will be satisfied.  This can be used to
              restrict control of the partition to some meta-scheduler.  Possible values are "YES" and "NO".

       ReqResv=<yes|no>
              Specify if only allocation requests designating a reservation will be satisfied.  This is used  to
              restrict  partition  usage to be allowed only within a reservation.  Possible values are "YES" and
              "NO".

       Shared=<yes|no|exclusive|force>[:<job_count>]
              Specify if nodes in this partition can be shared by multiple jobs.   Possible  values  are  "YES",
              "NO",  "EXCLUSIVE" and "FORCE".  An optional job count specifies how many jobs can be allocated to
              use each resource.

       State=<up|down|drain|inactive>
              Specify if jobs can be allocated nodes or queued in this partition.   Possible  values  are  "UP",
              "DOWN", "DRAIN" and "INACTIVE".

              UP        Designates  that  new  jobs  may queued on the partition, and that jobs may be allocated
                        nodes and run from the partition.

              DOWN      Designates that new jobs may be queued on the partition, but  queued  jobs  may  not  be
                        allocated  nodes  and  run  from  the  partition.  Jobs already running on the partition
                        continue to run. The jobs must be explicitly canceled to force their termination.

              DRAIN     Designates that no new jobs may be queued on the partition (job submission requests will
                        be denied with an error message), but jobs  already  queued  on  the  partition  may  be
                        allocated nodes and run.  See also the "Alternate" partition specification.

              INACTIVE  Designates  that no new jobs may be queued on the partition, and jobs already queued may
                        not be allocated nodes and run.  See also the "Alternate" partition specification.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR CREATE, UPDATE, AND DELETE COMMANDS, RESERVATIONS

       Reservation=<name>
              Identify the name of the reservation to be  created,  updated,  or  deleted.   This  parameter  is
              required  for update and is the only parameter for delete.  For create, if you do not want to give
              a reservation name, use "scontrol create res ..." and a name will be created automatically.

       Accounts=<account list>
              List of accounts permitted to use the reserved nodes, for example  "Accounts=physcode1,physcode2".
              A  user  in  any of the accounts may use the reserved nodes.  A new reservation must specify Users
              and/or Accounts.  If both Users and Accounts are specified, a job must match both in order to  use
              the  reservation.   Accounts  can  also  be  denied access to reservations by preceding all of the
              account  names  with  '-'.  Alternately  precede  the  equal  sign   with   '-'.    For   example,
              "Accounts=-physcode1,-physcode2" or "Accounts-=physcode1,physcode2" will permit any account except
              physcode1 and physcode2 to use the reservation.  You can add or remove individual accounts from an
              existing reservation by using the update command and adding a '+' or '-' sign before the '=' sign.
              If  accounts  are  denied access to a reservation (account name preceded by a '-'), then all other
              accounts are implicitly allowed to use the reservation and it is not possible to  also  explicitly
              specify allowed accounts.

       CoreCnt=<num>
              This  option  is  only  suported  when  SelectType=select/cons_res. Identify number of cores to be
              reserved. If NodeCnt is used, this is the total number of cores to reserve where cores per node is
              CoreCnt/NodeCnt. If a nodelist is used,  this  should  be  an  array  of  core  numbers  by  node:
              Nodes=node[1-5] CoreCnt=2,2,3,3,4

       Licenses=<license>
              Specification  of licenses (or other resources available on all nodes of the cluster) which are to
              be reserved.  License names can be followed by a colon and  count  (the  default  count  is  one).
              Multiple  license  names should be comma separated (e.g. "Licenses=foo:4,bar").  A new reservation
              must specify one or  more  resource  to  be  included:  NodeCnt,  Nodes  and/or  Licenses.   If  a
              reservation  includes  Licenses,  but no NodeCnt or Nodes, then the option Flags=LICENSE_ONLY must
              also be specified.

       NodeCnt=<num>[,num,...]
              Identify number of nodes to be reserved. The number can include a suffix of "k" or "K",  in  which
              case  the  number  specified is multiplied by 1024.  On BlueGene systems, this number represents a
              c-node (compute node) count and will be rounded up as needed to reserve whole  nodes  (midplanes).
              In  order  to  optimize  the  topology  of the resource allocation on a new reservation (not on an
              updated reservation), specific sizes required for the reservation may be specified.  For  example,
              if  you  want  to  reserve 4096 c-nodes on a BlueGene system that can be used to allocate two jobs
              each with 2048 c-nodes, specify "NodeCnt=2k,2k".  A new  reservation  must  specify  one  or  more
              resource to be included: NodeCnt, Nodes and/or Licenses.

       Nodes=<name>
              Identify  the node(s) to be reserved. Multiple node names may be specified using simple node range
              expressions (e.g. "Nodes=lx[10-20]").  Specify a blank data value  to  remove  all  nodes  from  a
              reservation:  "Nodes=".   A  new  reservation  must  specify  one or more resource to be included:
              NodeCnt,  Nodes  and/or  Licenses.  A  specification  of  "ALL"  will  reserve  all   nodes.   Set
              Flags=PART_NODES  and PartitionName= in order for changes in the nodes associated with a partition
              to also be reflected in the nodes associated with a reservation.

       StartTime=<time_spec>
              The start time for the reservation.  A new reservation must specify  a  start  time.   It  accepts
              times  of  the  form HH:MM:SS for a specific time of day (seconds are optional).  (If that time is
              already past, the next day is assumed.)  You may also specify midnight, noon, or teatime (4pm) and
              you can have a time-of-day suffixed with AM or PM for running in the morning or the evening.   You
              can  also say what day the job will be run, by specifying a date of the form MMDDYY or MM/DD/YY or
              MM.DD.YY, or a date and time as YYYY-MM-DD[THH:MM[:SS]].  You can also give times like now + count
              time-units, where the time-units can be minutes, hours, days, or weeks and you can tell  SLURM  to
              run the job today with the keyword today and to run the job tomorrow with the keyword tomorrow.

       EndTime=<time_spec>
              The  end  time  for  the  reservation.   A new reservation must specify an end time or a duration.
              Valid formats are the same as for StartTime.

       Duration=<time>
              The length of a reservation.  A new reservation must specify an end time  or  a  duration.   Valid
              formats  are  minutes,  minutes:seconds,  hours:minutes:seconds,  days-hours,  days-hours:minutes,
              days-hours:minutes:seconds, or UNLIMITED.  Time resolution is one minute  and  second  values  are
              rounded up to the next minute. Output format is always [days-]hours:minutes:seconds.

       PartitionName=<name>
              Identify the partition to be reserved.

       Flags=<flags>
              Flags  associated  with  the reservation.  You can add or remove individual flags from an existing
              reservation by adding a '+' or '-' sign before the '=' sign.   For  example:  Flags-=DAILY  (NOTE:
              this shortcut is not supported for all flags).  Currently supported flags include:

              LICENSE_ONLY
                          This is a reservation for licenses only and not compute nodes.  If this flag is set, a
                          job  using this reservation may use the associated licenses and any compute nodes.  If
                          this flag is not set, a job using this reservation may use only the nodes and licenses
                          associated with the reservation.

              MAINT       Maintenance mode, receives special accounting treatment.  This partition is  permitted
                          to use resources that are already in another reservation.

              OVERLAP     This reservation can be allocated resources that are already in another reservation.

              IGNORE_JOBS Ignore  currently  running jobs when creating the reservation.  This can be especially
                          useful when reserving all nodes in the system for maintenance.

              PART_NODES  This  flag  can  be  used  to  reserve  all  nodes  within  the  specified  partition.
                          PartitionName and Nodes=ALL must be specified or this option is ignored.

              DAILY       Repeat the reservation at the same time every day

              WEEKLY      Repeat the reservation at the same time every week

              SPEC_NODES  Reservation is for specific nodes (output only)

              STATIC_ALLOC
                          Make  it so after the nodes are selected for a reservation they don't change.  Without
                          this option when  nodes  are  selected  for  a  reservation  and  one  goes  down  the
                          reservation will select a new node to fill the spot.

       Features=<features>
              Set the reservation's required node features. Multiple values may be "&" separated if all features
              are required (AND operation) or separated by "|" if any of the specified features are required (OR
              operation).  Value may be cleared with blank data value, "Features=".

       Users=<user list>
              List  of  users  permitted  to  use  the  reserved nodes, for example "User=jones1,smith2".  A new
              reservation must specify Users and/or Accounts.  If both Users and Accounts are specified,  a  job
              must  match both in order to use the reservation.  Users can also be denied access to reservations
              by preceding all of the user names with '-'. Alternately precede the equal  sign  with  '-'.   For
              example,  "User=-jones1,-smith2"  or  "User-=jones1,smith2" will permit any user except jones1 and
              smith2 to use the  reservation.   You  can  add  or  remove  individual  users  from  an  existing
              reservation  by  using  the  update  command and adding a '+' or '-' sign before the '=' sign.  If
              users are denied access to a reservation (user name preceded by a '-'), then all other  users  are
              implicitly  allowed  to  use  the  reservation  and  it is not possible to also explicitly specify
              allowed users.

       SPECIFICATIONS FOR UPDATE BLOCK/SUBMP

       Bluegene systems only!

       BlockName=<name>
              Identify the bluegene block to be updated. This specification is required.

       State=<free|error|recreate|remove|resume>
              This will update the  state  of  a  bluegene  block.   (i.e.  update  BlockName=RMP0  STATE=ERROR)
              WARNING!!!! With the exception of the RESUME state, all other state values will cancel any running
              job on the block!

              FREE      Return the block to a free state.

              ERROR     Make it so jobs don't run on the block.

              RECREATE  Destroy the current block and create a new one to take its place.

              REMOVE    Free  and  remove  the  block  from the system.  If the block is smaller than a midplane
                        every block on that midplane will be  removed.  (only  available  on  dynamic  laid  out
                        systems)

              RESUME    If  a  block is in ERROR state RESUME will return the block to its previous usable state
                        (FREE or READY).

       SubMPName=<name>
              Identify the bluegene ionodes to be updated (i.e. bg000[0-3]).  This  specification  is  required.
              NOTE:  Even  on BGQ where node names are given in bg0000[00000] format this option takes an ionode
              name bg0000[0].

       DESCRIPTION FOR SHOW COMMAND, NODES

       The meaning of the energy information is as follows:

       CurrentWatts
              The instantaneous power consumption of the node at the time of the  last  node  energy  accounting
              sample, in watts.

       LowestJoules
              The  energy  consumed by the node between the last time it was powered on and the last time it was
              registered by slurmd, in joules.

       ConsumedJoules
              The energy consumed by the node between the last time it was registered by the slurmd  daemon  and
              the last node energy accounting sample, in joules.

       If   the   reported   value  is  "n/s"  (not  supported),  the  node  does  not  support  the  configured
       AcctGatherEnergyType plugin. If the reported value is zero, energy accounting for nodes is disabled.

       The meaning of the external sensors information is as follows:

       ExtSensorsJoules
              The energy consumed by the node between the last time it was powered  on  and  the  last  external
              sensors plugin node sample, in joules.

       ExtSensorsWatts
              The  instantaneous  power  consumption of the node at the time of the last external sensors plugin
              node sample, in watts.

       ExtSensorsTemp
              The temperature of the node at the time of the  last  external  sensors  plugin  node  sample,  in
              celsius.

       If  the  reported value is "n/s" (not supported), the node does not support the configured ExtSensorsType
       plugin.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       Some scontrol options may be set via environment variables. These environment variables, along with their
       corresponding options, are listed below. (Note: Commandline options will always override these settings.)

       SCONTROL_ALL        -a, --all

       SLURM_CLUSTERS      Same as --clusters

       SLURM_CONF          The location of the SLURM configuration file.

       SLURM_TIME_FORMAT   Specify the format used to report time stamps.  A  value  of  standard,  the  default
                           value, generates output in the form "year-month-dateThour:minute:second".  A value of
                           relative  returns  only  "hour:minute:second" if the current day.  For other dates in
                           the current year  it  prints  the  "hour:minute"  preceded  by  "Tomorr"  (tomorrow),
                           "Ystday"  (yesterday),  the  name  of the day for the coming week (e.g. "Mon", "Tue",
                           etc.), otherwise the date (e.g. "25 Apr").  For other years it returns a  date  month
                           and year without a time (e.g.  "6 Jun 2012").  Another suggested value is "%a %T" for
                           a  day of week and time stamp (e.g.  "Mon 12:34:56"). All of the time stamps use a 24
                           hour format.

AUTHORIZATION

       When using the SLURM db, users who have AdminLevel's defined  (Operator  or  Admin)  and  users  who  are
       account  coordinators  are  given  the  authority  to view and modify jobs, reservations, nodes, etc., as
       defined in the following table - regardless of whether a PrivateData restriction has been defined in  the
       slurm.conf file.

       scontrol show job(s):        Admin, Operator, Coordinator
       scontrol update job:         Admin, Operator, Coordinator
       scontrol requeue:            Admin, Operator, Coordinator
       scontrol show step(s):       Admin, Operator, Coordinator
       scontrol update step:        Admin, Operator, Coordinator

       scontrol show block:         Admin, Operator
       scontrol update block:       Admin

       scontrol show node:          Admin, Operator
       scontrol update node:        Admin

       scontrol create partition:   Admin
       scontrol show partition:     Admin, Operator
       scontrol update partition:   Admin
       scontrol delete partition:   Admin

       scontrol create reservation: Admin, Operator
       scontrol show reservation:   Admin, Operator
       scontrol update reservation: Admin, Operator
       scontrol delete reservation: Admin, Operator

       scontrol reconfig:           Admin
       scontrol shutdown:           Admin
       scontrol takeover:           Admin
