Thanks for your friendly advice! I keep forgetting about Systemd
details, and your suggestions are really detailed and useful for
others! Do you mind if I add your advice to my Slurm Wiki page?
Of course not! Especially not for you. :-) You are always welcome to
repost/share any helpful/useful information I've provided, even from
direct e-mails. I would tell you if I wanted something kept
confidential.... :-)
Great, I'll shamelessly copy your Systemd setup to my Wiki page
https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_configuration
Writing and maintaining good system documentation is an essential, and
often far too rare, quality of a good sysadmin. Someone who takes the
time and care to document and share their know-how and experience with
their teammates is worth their weight in gold. Someone who goes a
step further and documents publicly for the benefit of the overall
community? Well, they're worth their weight in platinum! (Or, in my
line of work, plutonium!) ;-)
I'm humbled by your very nice comments! For me it's just best
practices, helping myself remember how to do complicated setups, and
possibly helping others as well.
I don't know the critical mass of Plutonium, but I fear that my weight
in Pu would far exceed an amount to store safely as a single bar of
metal ;-) Platinum would be preferred for me :-)
Your hard work and dedication to the global SLURM/HPC community
continues to be noticed and greatly appreciated. I just wish there
were more of you! :-D And FWIW, I point folks to your wiki and pestat
constantly.
I use the "pestat" command all the time myself! People can get pestat
and my other Slurm tools from https://github.com/OleHolmNielsen/Slurm_tools
