Research direction

No documentation file or entry point is named. Start by locating the repository page covering Slurm job operations, then add the supplied sacctmgr show runaway procedure and verify that it explains both the no-jobs output and the interactive cleanup prompt.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

To identify and clear zombie/runaway jobs, use sacctmgr show runaway.

If there are no jobs you will see:

Runaway Jobs: No runaway jobs found on cluster slurm_cluster

Otherwise you will see a list of jobs followed by an interactive offer to fix them.
