Woo! Thanks Marcus, that works.
Though, ahem, SLURM/SchedMD, if you're listening, would it hurt to cover this in the documentation regarding prolog/epilog, and maybe give an example? https://slurm.schedmd.com/prolog_epilog.html Just a thought, Erik -- Erik Ellestad Wynton Cluster SysAdmin UCSF -----Original Message----- From: slurm-users <slurm-users-boun...@lists.schedmd.com> On Behalf Of Marcus Wagner Sent: Tuesday, May 12, 2020 10:08 PM To: slurm-users@lists.schedmd.com Subject: Re: [slurm-users] Reset TMPDIR for All Jobs Hi Erik, the output of task-prolog is sourced/evaluated (not really sure, how) in the job environment. Thus you don't have to export a variable in task-prolog, but echo the export, e.g. echo export TMPDIR=/scratch/$SLURM_JOB_ID The variable will then be set in job environment.
