We have come up with a little convenience tool that provides a structured way of bind mounting host-system SLURM libraries into a Singularity container session and thus enables the batch scheduler commands. This approach omits the SSH restrictions that system administrators might have set up (we also use such an HPC system, which has motivated that development).
All you need is to come up with a system-specific "configuration file" (which needs basically a one-time exploratory session with a few strace commands to isolate the necessary batch scheduler shared libraries and configuration files). Make sure you have read the compatibility section, though, as there are a few limitations: https://github.com/ExaESM-WP4/Batch-scheduler-Singularity-bindings

This is great, thank you so much for this! Only needed minor tweaks to account for differences in my cluster and the singularity version.
Thx for your quick answer. Indeed, thanks to a local security feature provided by our admins,
ssh $(hostname)is refused ! Will resume once they remove that.
