Run the Batch Job

✅ Make sure you are in the directory where you want the SLURM logs to end up (mri_practice is a good choice).

✅ In the terminal, type

✅ Go to the Jobs tab in OOD and see if the job has started yet.

✅ If the job has not failed immediately, then a subdirectory fmriprep_work_dev will have been created in the mri_practice directory. Look to see if it is there.

You do not need to be in interactive mode. The sbatch command will ensure the job is run as a batch job!
You can start the command from any directory, but wherever you start from, the SLURM log will be deposited there.

Caution!

☠️ If anything goes wrong (e.g., the fmriprep_work_dev directory is not generated, or the job finishes in seconds), look in the SLURM log to help troubleshoot. Common problems include not finding the script, not finding the right path or subject, a typo, hitting the time limit, etc. If you start the SLURM job from the BIDS data directory, the job log will create a BIDS validation error for the next BIDS app you run! (I'm going to stop reminding you of this now).
