[slurm-users] Strigger, why not always use "--flags=perm" rather than running the command again each time?

Hi

I've been looking at using strigger for some simple cases such as when a node drains or goes down.   Most of the examples I've seen use the format whereby it calls a script which reruns the strigger command for the next event.

However there is also the "--flags=perm" approach, is there any disadvantage to using this method?  It seems to be the more obvious way to do things but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything since most examples demonstrate the first method.

Thanks
