No print contents in slurm.out files

31 views (last 30 days)
Hey guys! I am running MATLAB programs on the HPC with slurm.
And I found that all the output that is supposed to show up in the command line are stored in the slurm-xxxx.out file, which is really cumbersome as my programs print a lot things.
Like this.
Is there anyway to avoid those output except for commenting all the fprint and disp?
I tried "-nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash -batch" but the output is still there.
Thanks a lot!

I can't test this as I don't currently have access to a SLURM cluster with MATLAB on it. I guess you submit jobs using the sbatch command? As far as I know, you can suppress all standard output by adding the following to your sbatch command
sbatch --output=/dev/null --error=/dev/null
Take care to ensure that this doesn't get rid of output that's important! This flushes away all of that potentially useful output.

Outputs only the job id number and the cluster name if present. The values are separated by a semicolon. Errors will still be displayed.
