SLURM cheat sheat

Submit a job

Submission with sbatch:

sbatch my_job_file.sh

Stop everything going into the nbi-long partition:

unset SBATCH_PARTITION

Submitting a job which depends upon the successful completion of another job. (Assuming a job is currently either running or in the queue with ID number 123)

sbatch --dependency=afterok:123 my_job_file.sh

Submitting a job with multiple dependencies can be achieved using a colon to seperate job IDs. (The following example assumes two jobs which are running or in the queue with IDs 123 and 456)

sbatch --dependency=afterok:123:456 my_job_file.sh

If you don't care about successful completion of a dependency in order to start the subsequent job, e.g. the dependency can fail with but you still want the next job to run afterwards, you can substitute afterok with afterany.
