No print contents in slurm.out files

Hey guys! I am running MATLAB programs on the HPC with slurm.

And I found that all the output that is supposed to show up in the command line are stored in the slurm-xxxx.out file, which is really cumbersome as my programs print a lot things.

Like this.

Is there anyway to avoid those output except for commenting all the fprint and disp?

I tried "-nodisplay -nodesktop -nosplash -batch" but the output is still there.

Thanks a lot!

I can't test this as I don't currently have access to a SLURM cluster with MATLAB on it. I guess you submit jobs using the sbatch command? As far as I know, you can suppress all standard output by adding the following to your sbatch command

sbatch --output=/dev/null --error=/dev/null

Take care to ensure that this doesn't get rid of output that's important! This flushes away all of that potentially useful output.

--parsable

Outputs only the job id number and the cluster name if present. The values are separated by a semicolon. Errors will still be displayed.
