scontrol: Resume a comma-separated list of suspended jobs.
$ scontrol resume ${job_id}
try on your machine

The command "scontrol resume ${job_id}" is used to resume a suspended job in a Slurm cluster.

Here's a breakdown of each component in the command:

  • "scontrol": It is a command-line tool used for controlling and monitoring Slurm jobs and resources.
  • "resume": It is an option specifying that the job should be resumed. When a job is suspended, it is temporarily paused and can be resumed later.
  • "${job_id}": It is a placeholder for the specific job identifier. You need to replace "${job_id}" with the actual job ID that you want to resume. The job ID uniquely identifies the job within the Slurm cluster.

So by running the command "scontrol resume ${job_id}", you are instructing Slurm to resume the specified job, allowing it to continue running from where it was suspended.
