If there a reason you can't set the job name with either "sbatch
--job-name=myname myscript.sh" or this in your script?
#SBATCH --job-name=myname
That way SLURM_JOB_NAME should be set to what you expect.

Subject: [slurm-users] set SLURM_JOB_NAME programmatically from within job
script
Hi,
I'd like to be able to set the SLURM_JOB_NAME from within the
script I'm submitting to `sbatch`. So, e.g., with the script
`myscript.sh`,
#!/bin/bash
export SLURM_JOB_NAME='myname'
sleep 120
and then `sbatch myscript.sh`, I'd like the job's name to be
'myname'.
Is this somehow possible? When I tried the above approach, it
didn't work (squeue reported the job's name to be 'myscript.sh').
Thanks for your help,
Andreas
