SLURM sbatch output buffering

Question

I created some slurm scripts and then tried to execute them with sbatch. But the output file is updated not frequently (once a minute maybe).

Is there a way to change the output buffering latency in sbatch? I know stdbuf is used in such situations but I could not make it work with sbatch.

The issue is certainly with buffering. If you are trying to run python code, add flush=True in print command like print(...,flush=True).
