ID in the form ``<job ID>;<cluster>``. We can use the command ``cut`` to fetch just

first=$(sbatch --parsable --job-name job_leader job_first.slurm)
first=$((sbatch --parsable --job-name job_leader job_first.slurm)| cut -d ';' -f1)
perturbation_size='0.05' sbatch --job-name job_pert_0_05 --dependency=afterok:$first job_depend.slurm
perturbation_size='0.1' sbatch --job-name job_pert_0_1 --dependency=afterok:$first job_depend.slurm
