[slurm-users] opposite of --array

[Herbert Fruchtl via slurm-users]

Folks,

When I use sacct, it always shows all tasks of an array job
individually. This is supposed to be switched on by --array, but it
seems to be the default. How do I switch it off?

Thanks in advance,

Herbert

Perhaps "squeue" will show you what you need(?). This:

```
squeue --all --state=all --long --array-unique
```

seems to have overlapping information. There're a number of fields that can be specified with `-O, --Format=<output_format>` that might have the info you need.

Hi Ron,

Thanks for the response. I need information about historical jobs
(squeue only shows what's in the queue now). I'll have to write a script
to sum up the times for the individual jobs.

Herbert

Hello Herbert,

I modified some SQL from my MariaDB history. This gets jobs that were started or ended after the first of the month. Does this help at all?

```
set @TimeStamp := UNIX_TIMESTAMP(DATE_FORMAT(CURDATE(), '%Y-%m-01 00:00:00'));
