However, a more general question... I thought there is no fool-proof

slurm be unable to include the memory usage of that program?
If you use jobacct_gather/cgroup, slurm (via cgroups) will count the
memory of all processes in the cgroup, and I don't think a regular user
is able to move any processes outside the current cgroup (or start a
process outside from a process inside).
Oh... I see. I never looked into cgroups before. I will
read more about it if it helps me solve one of the problems
that's been bugging me.
Thank you!
