<p>Cray/ALPS node ordering is a topic of ongoing work, some information can be found in the CUG-2010 paper

<h3>The scancel command and signalling jobs</h3>
On Cray systems, all signals <b>except</b>
SIGCHLD, SIGCONT, SIGSTOP, SIGTSTP, SIGTTIN, SIGTTOU, SIGURG, or SIGWINCH
cause the ALPS reservation to be released.
The job however will not be terminated except in the case of SIGKILL and

the active job steps but not cancel the job itself.
