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'
Partition definition:
ParttionName=weekend PreemptMode=Cancel MaxTime=Unlimited
