Monitoring Jobs in the Queue:¶

Now that ATAV job has been submitted, we can take a look at the job’s status in the queue using the command qstat:

[zr2180@qs1]$ qstat
job-ID  prior   name       user         state submit/start at     queue                          slots ja-task-ID 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8186313 0.00000 atav       zr2180       qw    08/30/2017 11:57:42                                    5 

From this output, we can see that the job is in the qw state which stands for queued and waiting. After a few seconds, the job will transition into a r, or running, state at which point the job will begin executing.

[zr2180@qs1 ~]$ qstat
job-ID  prior   name       user         state submit/start at     queue                          slots ja-task-ID 
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
8186315 0.56214 atav       zr2180       r     08/30/2017 11:59:03 all.q@igm-cluster067.igm.cumc.     5  

Once the job has finished, the job will be removed from the queue and will no longer appear in the output of qstat:

[zr2180@qs1 ~]$ qstat
[zr2180@qs1 ~]$

If you need to check details of one specific job, you can run -j with job number:

[zr2180@qs1 ~]$ qstat -j 8186313

Deleting a Job from the Queue:¶

You can delete a job from the queue using the qdel command with job number:

[zr2180@qs1 ~]$ qdel 8186525
zr2180 has deleted job 8186525
