Ok thanks for the reassurance. I had thought about your first partition idea
vs the reservation. I was not sure if this was possible on the fly without
updating the slurm.conf on each compute node without causing issues.

I would use a partition with very low priority and preemption.
General cluster conf:
PreemptType=preempt/partition_prio
Preemptmode=Cancel # Anything except 'Off'

Hello,
We run lsf and slurm here. For LSF we have a weekend queue with no limit and
jobs get killed after Sunday. What is the best way to do something similar for
slurm? Reservation? We would like to have any running jobs killed after
Sunday if possible too. Thanks.
