How can I see the queing situation?

Up to Table of Contents

How can I see how my jobs are doing in the queue, if my jobs are idle, blocked, running?

To see the jobqueue use the command 'showq':

showq

This command gives you a list of running jobs, idle jobs and blocked jobs. Each line in the list gives you the jobid, which user is running the job, number of cpus it`s using, time remaining and start time of the job. The list is sorted by remaining time for the jobs.

To get more information about the command:

showq -h

You can also use the command

qstat

which gives you a list of jobs on Snowstorm, sorted by jobid. This command also has man-pages:

man qstat

Example of the 'qstat' output:

Job id  
Name  
User

rc5des.sh

59.mangas
rc5des.sh
royd

R

where:

  • Job id - The name of the job in the queueing system
  • Name - The name of the script you give to qsub
  • User - The job owner
  • Time Use - The walltime of the job
  • S - The state of the job, R - running, Q - waiting, S - suspended
  • Queue - The queue where the job is running


A list of jobnames running on which node, can also be found at Stallo`s webpage.
