slurm job name in a for loop

Question

I would like to have my job name function of the parameters of the loop.

#!/bin/bash
#SBATCH -n 4
#SBATCH -p batch576

MAXLEVEL=8
process_id=$!
for Oh in '0.0001' '0.0005'
do
    for H in '1.' '0.8'
    do
        mkdir half$Oh$H
        cp half h.py RP.py `pwd`/half$Oh$H/
        cd half$Oh$H
        srun --mpi=pmi2 -J half${Oh}${H} ./half $Oh $H $MAXLEVEL &
        cd ..
    done
done
wait $process_id

Instead of test_min i would like: half0.00011. half0.00010.8....

squeue
             JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)
               658  batch576 test_min  XXX  R       0:06      1 no de1-ib2

Do you have any ideas? Thanks you

If you're submitting this job using sbatch, it will be a single job with multiple job steps. The -J option in srun names the jobsteps in your Job, not the job itself. And by default, squeue does not show job step information. Try the --steps paramater for squeue to show the job step names.
