gimps/mprime slurm batch job

[pietro1685]

My first post, so apologies if this is a FAQ - did a quick search but couldn't find anything.

I have a small home network with a handful of machines running Slurm and Linux.

Until now I have just opened a shell window on machines and run mprime interactively.

I would like to run mprime as a batch job, but not sure of the best way to automate the interaction.

"expect" maybe? But I'm not an expert at this.

Does anybody have a sample Slurm job script they could share?

Thanks in advance.

Best wishes -- Peter

Welcome to the forum.

I am going to move this thread to a better part of the forum, where people will notice it.

I am not familiar with "Slurm" per say, but my MPrime install script for Linux can create a cron job to automatically start MPrime, which it looks like might do what you want. It also does use Expect to automatically setup MPrime.
