sstub is a bash program for writing templated Slurm scripts. Slurm is widely used tool for resource management on high-performance computing systems. There are a number of existing tools that provide web-based Slurm script generators. The goal of this project was to develop a tool for "stubbing" job specifications via the command line.
The sstub.sh script is available to download from this repository. Once cloned, ensure that the script is executable (chmod +x sstub.sh) and move to an appropriate bin in order to call the program directly by name.
