squeue

squeue is used for viewing the status of jobs. By default, squeue will output the following information about currently running jobs and jobs waiting in the queue: Job ID, Partition, Job Name, User Name, Job Status, Run Time, Node Count, and Node List. There are a large number of command-line options available for customizing the information provided by squeue. Below are a list of examples:

For more information about squeue see: http://slurm.schedmd.com/squeue.html

Example:

 squeue -u sxg125

output:        

   JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)

            661587     batch     bash   sxg125  R      22:21      1 comp150t

Note the jobID (661587), status of the Job (R-> Running) and the compute node (comp150t) that the job is running.

Want to see details such as why your job is in PD (pending) state, in which node your job is running.

Also, show the start time and end time of the job:

squeue -u <CaseID> -o "%.9i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.10M %.6D %S %e"

output:

JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES START_TIME END_TIME

   676101     batch      JOB   sxg125 PD       0:00      1 2016-04-09T15:25:21 

   606057     batch      JOB   sxg125  R 8-01:08:45      1 2016-03-31T14:17:02 2016-04-31T14:17:02

   606056     batch      JOB   sxg125  R 8-01:10:16      1 2016-03-31T14:15:31 2016-03-31T14:15:31

The job 676101 is estimated to start on April 09 at 15:25 and the end time of job 606057 is April 31 at 14:17.

You can filter squeue output to all jobs in your group using the -A flag:

squeue -o "%A %C %e %E %g %l %m %N %T %u" -A eecs600

output:

JOBID CPUS END_TIME DEPENDENCY GROUP TIME_LIMIT MIN_MEMORY NODELIST STATE USER

148146 1 2016-01-27T01:14:27  eecs600 10:00:00 1900 comp148t RUNNING hxs356
