SLURM how to know if a running job is a srun or a sbatch job?

Question

I need to distinguish between batch and interactive job when are in RUNNING state. I can't find with sact or stat a way to know if a job is a interactive session.

Did anyone already solved a similar problem?

You can use the batchflag formatting keyword in the squeue command to infer if a job has been submitted using the sbatch command.

$ squeue --Format=batchflag -u ${USER} --states=RUNNING

From the BatchFlag description in the scontrol help page:

Jobs submitted using the sbatch command have BatchFlag set to 1. Jobs submitted using other commands have BatchFlag set to 0.
