On our UQAM servers as well as on clusters of The Alliance (when using the RPN environment) you already have an alias pointing to the above command, called:
qs
The column 'ST' or 'state' shows the status of the job:
PD : pending
R : running
C : cancelled
The column 'TMAX' or 'wallclock' shows the wall clock time. The run time the job requested. Once this time runs out the job will get terminated.
qsa
Only available on clusters of the Alliance.
If you would like to know what the other users of the ESCER Center are running you can use the command 'qsa' ('a' for all).
qsp
Only available on clusters of the Alliance.
The command 'qsp' ('p' for project) shows you all jobs currently in all the project allocations to which you can submit jobs. In the first section is a detailed list of all jobs for each project and the last section show you the current "usage". Here you can see "workload" of the projects. The LevelFS is a measure for the how much a project was used in the recent past and how high therefore the priority is. The higher the LevelFS the faster a job will start running.
Kill a job
Check the job-ID number with 'qs' or '~winger/ovbin/qs' and then use 'qdel' to kill your job:
qdel job-ID
