Troy,

I have added my vote for that feature. Meanwhile, I am looking at doing it through the job_submit.lua, but I am unable to access job_desc.environment (it is NULL). Looks like others have had that issue as well, but I see no resolution.

How are you setting environment variables from lua, if I may ask?

There's an outstanding feature request for that:

While waiting on that, we've taken to injecting it into the job's environment 
ourselves in the Lua submit filter.

     All,
Trying to see the best way to identify the time limit of a job from
     within the job.
     I had hoped it was one of the SLURM variables, but apparently not.
Is there an easy way outside doing an 'squeue' or 'scontrol' call from
     the job to find out the max time of itself?
I hate doing RPC calls as too many of them can tip a system over. Brian Andrus
