Moe, After doing more extensive testing, I came to realize that we had made a bad basic assumption. We believed that the user's environment should only be what was sent in the file via the --export-file option. However, that broke the previous behavior, especially in regard to Moab jobs. It also caused the SLURM defined environment variables to be lost as well. This patch will enable the correct behavior for Moab on top of SLURM whne using the --export-file option, but the behavior is less that pefect for using it stand alone with sbatch. When using the option with sbatch as a user, the file environment is read in, and then when the env_array_merge is made, some variables may get overwritten. This is good for the SLURM and MPI vairables, but not so good for others., The problem is trying to reconcile two sources of environment is very problematic. I also added a caveat in the man page. I made changes in my branch of SchedMD SLURM for 2.3, here is the patch. Phil
