I have thought about it too, but I think the --block option that I use
in ray start is supposed to sleep indefinitely for this not to happen.
However maybe this is not taken into account due to the fact that I use
'&' at this end of the ray start command in the install_worker.sh script
for this call to be non-blocking when I launch install_worker.sh with
srun in the parent script?
The '&' symbol at the end of a command will put it into the background.
If you do that in a Slurm script, or in a script called from there, then
that command can still be running when the main script exits and your
job ends.
The way to fix that is to use the "wait" command to sleep until pending
commands in the background complete.
Hope that helps!
