How can I see the queing situation?
Up to Table of Contents
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 | |
Time Use | |
S | |
Queue |
| ------ | ------ | ---- | ------- | - | ----- | |||||
| 58.mangas | rc5des.sh | royd | 00:07:46 | R | normal | |||||
| 59.mangas | rc5des.sh | royd | 00:07:46 | R | normal |
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

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