Basic commands

Useful commands for the slurm:

sinfo            # to see the name of nodes, their occupancy, 
                 # name of slurm partitions, limits (try out with "-l" option)
squeue           # to see the currently running/waiting jobs in slurm 
                 # (additional "-l" option may also be useful)
sbatch Script.sh # to submit a script (example below) to the slurm.
