15.7 Configuring the SLURM Epilog Script
SLURM provides the capability of automatically killing rogue processes at the end of a job using
an epilog script.
When configured, the SLURM epilog script is launched after the user's job on the node completes.
This script verifies that the user has another job assigned to this node, and, if not, sends a SIGKILL
signal to all the processes that belong to that user on all the nodes in the user's allocation.
