No, I never moved that file from the Linux cluster (and I do the editing with VIM which warns me of that possible issue).

Possibly way off base, but did you happen to do any of the editing in Windows? Maybe running into the cr/lf issue for how windows saves text files?

Thanks Ole, your wiki page sheds some light on this mystery. Very frustrating that even the simple example provided in the release fails, and it fails at the most basic logging functionality. Note that "my" job_submit.lua is now the unmodified, slurm-provided one and that the luac command returns nothing in my case (this is Lua 5.3.4) so syntax seems correct?

Hi Davide, I suggest that you check your job_submit.lua script with the LUA compiler: luac -p /etc/slurm/job_submit.lua I have written some more details in my Wiki page https://wiki.fysik.dtu.dk/niflheim/Slurm_configuration#job-submit-plugins Best regards, Ole On 9/7/22 01:51, Davide DelVento wrote: Thanks again to both of you.
