Scripts (and soon, possibly, notes) for working with the departmental Slurm servers.
interactive_session is a script that I keep in a directory which is in my PATH.
It is a very basic script that will start an interactive/debug session on a partition of your choice if you
are logged into a slurm head node. Example use:
interactive_session -p <partition_name>
This will start a 30 minute (the current departmental limit) debug session in a sensible file location.
The script will attempt to throw informative errors if, for example, you are not logged into a slurm head node,
or you enter a <partition_name> which is not recognised. If you miss the -debug suffix then this will be appended for you.
