SlurmDagman

This application allows to run (the jobs in) a DAG with Slurm workload manager.

Installation and configuration

SlurmDagman can be installed via pip (SlurmDagman in PyPI) or it can simply be downloaded from github.

A configuration file for SlurmDagman named SlurmDagman.conf is included in the package. In the git repository it can be found in the etc folder. In the distribution it can be found in a sub-directory named etc/SlurmDagman. The configuration file provides default values for Slurm job submission options and for some SlurmDagman worker parameters.

SlurmDagman will try to read the SlurmDagman.conf configuration file from the following locations, in this order:

• /etc/ and /etc/SlurmDagman/
• $xdg_config_dir/ and $xdg_config_dir/SlurmDagman/ where $xdg_config_dir is each of the paths defined by the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS; if $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS is not defined, $xdg_config_dir defaults to /etc/xdg/
• site.USER_BASE/etc/ and site.USER_BASE/etc/SlurmDagman/ where site.USER_BASE is the python variable that defines the location for a user installation
• $xdg_config_home/ and $xdg_config_home/SlurmDagman/ where $xdg_config_home is the environment variable $XDG_CONFIG_HOME when defined and not empty; otherwise it defaults to $HOME/.config
• $VIRTUAL_ENV/etc/ and $VIRTUAL_ENV/etc/SlurmDagman/ when $VIRTUAL_ENV is defined and not empty
