<li><b>SPANK Plugins</b><br>
SPANK provides a very generic interface for stackable plug-ins which
may be used to dynamically modify the job launch code in SLURM. SPANK
plugins may be built without access to SLURM source code. They need
only be compiled against SLURM’s spank.h header file, added to the
SPANK config file plugstack.conf, and they will be loaded at runtime
during the next job launch. Thus, the SPANK infrastructure provides
administrators and other developers a low cost, low effort ability to
dynamically modify the runtime behavior of SLURM job launch.
