Description Paul Edmon 2015-11-17 02:46:54 MST

The scontrol show syntax is not the same as update, create, delete.  This is sort of a headache when you are trying to remember commands to use.  The syntax should be the same.  Namely you do:

scontrol show job blah

and

scontrol update jobid=blah stuff

It would be better if it was:

scontrol show jobid=blah

It looks like this functionality has existed since 2009. Here is the commit:

https://github.com/SchedMD/slurm/commit/82ce9e74128b7b9cf749957e82791e908d31b8b9

I've updated the documentation accordingly in this commit:
