When will my job start?

To find out approximately when the job scheduler thinks your job will start, use the command::

showstart job_id

This command will give you information about how many CPUs your job requires, for how long, as well as when approximately it will start and complete.

It must be emphasized that this is just a best guess, queued jobs may start earlier because of running jobs that finishes before they hit the walltime limit and jobs may start later than projected because new jobs are submitted that get higher priority.
