Hi,

Please create a file called “epilogue” in $PBS_HOME/mom_priv/ on all the compute nodes.
Please give the executable permission chmod +x $PBS_HOME/mom_priv/epilogue

Place the below contents in the file :

#!/bin/bash
echo "From the epilogue script" > /tmp/$1_epilogue.txt
echo $@  >> /tmp/$1_epilogue.txt

Run a sample job and you would see the /tmp/XXX_epilogue.txt being populated.
You can implement the logic to cleanup the processes or directories .
If you implement the same in execjob_epilogue hook event, that takes the precedence over epilogue script and only hook will be executed.

That worked for me. I was able to add my own user code in there as follows:

#!/bin/bash
echo "From the epilogue script" > /tmp/$1_epilogue.txt
echo $@  >> /tmp/$1_epilogue.txt

sudo -u feacluster bash -c 'source ~/.bashrc;gcloud --no-user-output-enabled compute instances stop instance-3 --zone us-central1-b;'
