Changing job allotted time

Hi, is it possible to change the allotted time of a job after it has already started running?

This can very site to site. At Yale we allow you to reduce the wall time limit for a job on your own but extending the time has to be done by an administrator.

If you want to set a new time that is lower, run something similar to

scontrol update jobid=12345 timelimit=5:00

replacing 12345 with your job’s id, and 5:00 with a slurm-formatted time. If you need to extend your job send us a message at hpc@yale.edu or help.ycrc.yale.edu .
