Add jobs best-partition - #98

Conversation
Asks the controller when a job would start in each partition the caller may use, from sbatch --test-only, and sorts the answers. A partition that refuses the job reports why, which is often the useful part. The script is named the way sbatch takes it, positionally or with -f. The eligibility scan reads groups and account rules from scontrol, so only plausible partitions cost a query. The asking is serial: the controller runs each estimate behind its scheduler locks, so concurrent requests take longer and start timing out.

There was a problem hiding this comment.
is it possible to check a narrow sub-set like kempner* or from the comma separated list of partitions partionA, partitionB, partitionC?

Yes, it's already there: -p narrows the search, -A picks the account, -l caps how many partitions are asked |
