Description Don Lipari 2013-02-25 06:12:09 MST

In chasing down a problem with cancelling a job step on Sequoia, I was distracted by the following errors in the slurmd.log:

not distracting:
[2013-02-25T10:56:19-08:00] debug:  Sending signal 9 to step 394271.1
distracting:
[2013-02-25T10:56:19-08:00] debug:  _step_connect: connect: No such file or directory
[2013-02-25T10:56:19-08:00] debug:  signal for nonexistant 394271.1 stepd_connect failed: No such file or directory

The signal got through even though _signal_jobstep() returns early due to the -1 return status of stepd_connect().

The errors are reported due to the absence of nodename_job.step directories in the SlurmdSpoolDir on BlueGene systems.

correction:  nodename_job.step "sockets"
