Description

At least the HPC people in Geneva asked us to always use srun in slurm files sumbitted via sbatch. I think, it is related to how slurm does the logging of jobs in the background. Thus, we should update our slurm scripts to make always use of it. There is a bug in the run-grid, which prevented us from making the change there so far.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the run grid component to find the bug that prevents using `srun` in Slurm scripts. Then update all relevant Slurm scripts to use `srun` instead of direct commands.
