Tip of the Week: Delay the start of a job in Slurm
It may sometimes be useful to submit a job and tell Slurm to defer scheduling until later. This is possible using the --begin option, which works with both sbatch and srun. The job will be submitted immediately, but only considered to run at the specified time in the future. Some examples below:
--begin=<time>
--begin=16:00
--begin=now+1hour
--begin=2016-06-30T12:34:00
