Yes, all the above methods are sufficient to find out the active
routing algorithm
if the user has the remote access to the SM node. But in our subnet, SM node
is also a compute node and when some user reserves that node for running jobs
no one else except 'root' is allowed to enter that node. There I am
facing the problem.
