Attention

GPU users: GPU nodes run EL9, while this documentation still reflects the EL7 software stack.

Run module avail on an EL9 login node, or within an interactive session on the relevant GPU type, to see the software available.

The documentation will be updated once all nodes have migrated to EL9.

scancel

scancel is a scheduler command that cancels a SLURM job.

Documentation

Documentation is available on the system using the command

$ man scancel

Sometimes you may need to stop a job while it’s running.

You can stop jobs with the scancel command and the job’s ID (replacing job-id with the number):

$ scancel job-id

To cancel multiple jobs you can supply a comma separated list:

$ scancel job-id1, job-id2, job-id3
