[FIX] resubmitting jobs that are in queue: use `scancel` to delete the job in queue on Slurm clusters

[zhao-cy]

Currently, BABS always uses qdel to delete the job, and qdel is an SGE command. Depending on the cluster system, for Slurm clusters, it should be scancel. Otherwise, it would cause error when babs-status --resubmit(-job) a pending job.

Hi @djarecka @yibeichan ! On MIT or Princeton Slurm cluster, when you hope to cancel a pending job, would this command work? scancel <job_id>?

I know it works on UMN MSI Slurm cluster, just hope to confirm that it also applies to other Slurm clusters.

Thanks, Chenying

hi, so on princeton slurm scancel <job_id> it works. after scancel, babs-status will show that this job failed. I'll test it on openmind cluster soon.

hi, scancel <job_id> works on openmind cluster too! all good

Perfect, thank you so much!
