i'm currently using slurm in my project, and am trying to run an very simple hello world job. I want to redirect my stdout and errorout to an specific file in an specific location. Therefore I used the following command: sudo su -c 'sbatch /home/slurm/job.script --error=/home/slurm/job%j.out --output=/home/slurm/job%j.out' slurm. But I am ignored completely. He just tries (and fails because he has no permission) to create a file where the command is issued. Im using a Debian 10 vagrant box. And my slurm version is slurm-wlm 18.08.5-2 (output from sinfo -V)

slurm job file:

#!/bin/sh
#SBATCH --time=1
srun -l /bin/hostname
srun -l /bin/pwd
srun -l echo "hello world"

slurm conf file:

ClusterName=slurm_cluster  # By default ClusterName=linux

Beware that writing

sbatch /home/slurm/job.script --error=/home/slurm/job%j.out --output=/home/slurm/job%j.out

assumes --error and --output are parameters to job.script. Try

sbatch --error=/home/slurm/job%j.out --output=/home/slurm/job%j.out /home/slurm/job.script
