Hi,
well, I think you're putting the cart before the horse, but anyway, you could
write a script that extracts the next reservation and does some simple math to
display the time in hours or else to the user. It's the users job to set the
time their job needs to finish. Auto-squeezing a job that takes 2 days to
complete into a remaining 2 hour window until the reservation starts doesn't
make any sense to me.
# NEXTRES=$(scontrol show res | head -n1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -f2 -d= |
xargs -I {} date +%s --date "{}" )
# NOW=$(date +%s)
# echo "$(((NEXTRES - NOW) / 3600)) hours left until reservation begins"
178 hours left until reservation begins
Cheers,
Florian

Subject: [External] [slurm-users] Autoset job TimeLimit to fit in a reservation
Hi,
I'm wondering if there is any built-in option to autoset a job TimeLimit
to fit within a defined reservation.
For now, it seems to me that the timelimit must be explicitely provided,
in a agreement with the deadline of the reservation, by a user when
invoking the srun or sbatch command while I would find it comfortable to
let slurm calculate the remaining time of the reservation on which
srun/sbatch is executed and fill in the TimeLimit accordingly;
Best;
Jeremy.
