Slurm sbatch job fail

Question

I am writing a script test.job to submit job using sbatch. The script is as below.

#!/bin/bash

#SBATCH -J test

#SBATCH --time=00:01:00

#SBATCH -N 2

#SBATCH -n 2

#SBATCH -o logs/%j.sleep

#SBATCH -e logs/%j.sleep

echo test

Then i run with sbatch test.job and the job failed with error message

Any idea what I did wrong?

Answer 1

It is easier to debug such problems by running in real time with:

srun test.job

Then perhaps you will see the error and be able to fix. Eg: log folder permissions or test.job isn't set as executable
