slurm-helper

Bunch of helper files for the Slurm resource manager

Vim syntax file

The Vim syntax file renders the Slurm batch submission scripts easier to read and to spot errors in the submission options.

As submission scripts are indeed shell scripts, and all Slurm options are actually Shell comments, it can be difficult to spot errors in the options.

This syntax file allows vim to understand the Slurm option and highlight them accordingly. Whenever possible, the syntax rules check the validity of the options and put in a special color what is not recognized as a valid option, or valid parameters values.

Installation

Under Linux or MacOS, simply copy the file in the directory

.vim/after/syntax/sh/

or whatever shell other than sh you prefer.

The syntax file is then read and applied on a Shell script after the usual syntax file has been processed.

Known issues

• Some regex needed to validate options or parameter values are not exactly correct, but should work in most cases.
• Any new option unknown to the syntax file will be spotted as an error.

Bash completion

The Bash completion script offers completion for Slurm commands.

At present the following Slurm commands are considered

• scontrol
• sreport

Instalation

Simply source the script in your .bashrc or .profile
