running your 666bbe05fe2 + our usual modifications

Maybe because array tasks are in a mixture of states?

Comment 1 Phil Schwan 2014-06-01 21:11:43 MDT

I see!  The problem is actually one of syntax.

"scontrol release job=336247" does nothing, silently.

"scontrol release 336247" works.

Comment 2 David Bigagli 2014-06-03 09:03:15 MDT

The syntax is now consistent allowing 3 types of specification:

scontrol release jobid=150698
scontrol requeuehold state=specialexit jobid=150698

scontrol release job=150698
scontrol requeuehold state=specialexit job=150698

scontrol release 150698
scontrol requeuehold state=specialexit 150698

scontrol requeue jobid=150698
scontrol requeue job=150698
scontrol requeue 150698

Thanks,
       David
