I’m running julia scripts on a SLURM server in batch mode (`julia my_script.jl`). SLURM creates output files with the output that julia is sending to the console, but I’m finding that while warnings are output in real time, print statements I add (just so I can keep track of progress and keep an eye on what steps are taking most time) don’t get output till the script finishes.
Is there a way to get print statements to output faster?
(Sorry, I know this might be a SLURM issue, but given warnings are output in real time, I think it’s a julia thing…)

Warnings are printed to stderr while print statements are printed to stdout.
Perhaps try [How to change how frequently SLURM updates the output file (stdout)? - Stack Overflow](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/25170763/how-to-change-how-frequently-slurm-updates-the-output-file-stdout/25189364#25189364) or `flush(stdout)` in your program.

perfect, thanks! (though for future readers: it’s `flush(STDOUT)`, not `flush(stdout)`

Sorry, on 0.7 it is `flush(stdout)` 🙂
