Problem

When submitting jobs, I get the following error:

sbatch: error: Batch job submission failed: Time limit specification required, but not provided

Solution

To submit jobs it is necessary to specify the job's time limit. You can requested it following one of the options below:

  • Adding the following line to your submit script, after the shebang line.

    #SBATCH -t <time_limit>

  • Execute the sbatch using the -t argument.

    sbatch -t <time_limit> <submit_script>
