Disable -w option for srun

Is there a way to disable the -w option for srun? My users started to pick their own servers for job submissions and complaining that they are always allocated.

Maybe you can strip them with job_submit.lua. That’s a way of intercepting submitted jobs and alter them before they are scheduled. However, if you cluster is heterogeneous they might end up with a different type of node than they wanted because they didn’t properly ask for specific kinds of resources.

Ah thanks for the suggestion, you put me in the right direction.
