4.3 Managing jobs

4.3.1 Canceling a job

$ scancel <jobid>

4.3.2 Listing running and queued jobs

The squeue command will list all jobs scheduled in the cluster. We have also written wrappers for squeue on Oscar that you may find more convenient:

myq List only your own jobs.
myq <user> List another user's jobs.
allq List all jobs, but organized by partition, and a summary of the nodes in use in the partition.
allq <partition> List all jobs in a single partition.

4.3.3 Listing completed jobs

The sacct command will list all of your running, queued and completed jobs since midnight of the previous day. To pick an earlier start date, specify it with the -S option:

$ sacct -S 2012-01-01

To find out more information about a specific job, such as its exit status or the amount of runtime or memory it used, specify the -l ("long" format) and -j options with the job ID:

$ sacct -lj <jobid>
