SBATCH Syntax Highlighting and SLURM Job Submission for VS Code

This extension provides syntax highlighting and job submission features for .sbatch files used with SLURM job scheduling.

Features

• Syntax highlighting for .sbatch files, including differentiation between active #SBATCH commands and commented ##SBATCH lines.
• Right-click on .sbatch files to submit a SLURM job directly from VS Code.
• Right-click on .sbatch files to list all jobs (active and historical) submitted from that file.
• File icon for .sbatch files for easy identification.

Installation

• Install the extension from the VS Code Marketplace.

How to Use

1. Open any .sbatch file in VS Code to see syntax highlighting.
2. Right-click on the .sbatch file in the file explorer and select:
   • Submit a SLURM Job from This File to submit the job
   • List Submitted Jobs from This File to view active and historical jobs from this script

Syntax Highlighting

• Active #SBATCH commands are highlighted in purple.
• Commented ##SBATCH lines are highlighted in blue.
• General comments are highlighted in green.
• The rest of the text follows standard bash syntax colors.

Job Management

View all SLURM jobs (active and historical) submitted from a specific .sbatch file. Click on active job rows to cancel them with scancel.
