Hi everyone,

we are hardly ever using soft requests, but we have an external load balancer 
that faces a problem that should also appear with soft requests, namely: how 
does a job know if a request has been granted? I could not find anything I'm 
the docs or the output of env. Sometimes, it is possible to detect this by 
looking at the node where the job is running, but sometimes it is not:
- when requesting a floating software license, there may be licenses available 
on the license server, but the scheduler may have allocated them to a different 
job;
- likewise for job-exclusive accelerator hardware;

Is there any way to detect this from inside a job script?

Thanks,

A.
