Description Tim Wickberg 2016-10-25 10:20:17 MDT

Add a mechanism for returning job statistics (and/or other admin-generated messages) back to the user immediately following job completion. Ideally these would be appended to the user output file itself.

The epilog executes while the job is still running, and by definition cannot include final statistics for the job.

SlurmctldEpilog has no access to the job output.

Hi Tim, 

this is one of the things we definitely would like to have. :-)

What's the state of this request? What are the chances of this being implemented any time soon?

Or could this be done by writing a SPANK plugin? Probably one running in the slurmd-context (slurmd_exit callback) or in the job_script context (job_epilog context - but that's too early, isn't it?)?
