Good afternoon,

I'm looking for a (simple) set of preemption rules for the following planned 
setup:

- three partitions: "urgent", "normal", "cycles", all covering the same set of 
nodes
- "cycles" p. runs at Priority=1, jobs can be preempted (CANCEL or REQUEUE)
- "normal" p. at Priority=10, can*not* preempt jobs, jobs can*not* be preempted
- "urgent" p. AllowAccounts=gods Priority=100 can preempt "cycles" jobs *only*

Which (global) PreemptType and (individual) PreemptMode settings would provide 
this?
I'm running into conflicts endlessly... Anyone running a similar setup and 
willing to
share a couple of slurm.conf lines?

As a bonus: since "normal" jobs are expected to spawn continuation jobs at the 
end of
their run-time, would it be possible to delay jobs to be run in the "cycles" 
partition
until nodes have been idle for more than 1-5 minutes? (Dynamically set the 
partition 
state to INACTIVE? How?)

Thanks in advance,
 Steffen
