Marcus,
Do you use the Perl API to submit jobs/request allocations, or only to query
the state of jobs, etc.? If you submit jobs, how do you populate the hash that
is passed as a job_desc_msg_t structure? Thanks,
John

In fact, we ARE using the perl API, but there are some flaws.
E.g. the array_task_str of the jobinfo structure. Slurm abbreviates long
list of array indices, like scontrol does:
e.g.
1-3,5-8,45-...
yes, you can really find there three dots. In my opinion, this is ok for
a general tool like scontrol to abbreviate the output, but it does not
make any sense within a API.
Does anyone know, if the C-API also abbreviates things like that?
Best
Marcus

provide a value for, and Slurm assigns defaults to the other keys/fields?
