Example 9-2 Displaying Queued Jobs by Their JobIDs
$ squeue --jobs 12345,12346
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME_USED NODES NODELIST(REASON)
12345 debug job1 jody R 0:21 4 n[9-12]
12346 debug job2 jody PD 0:00 8
The squeue command can report on jobs in the job queue according to their state; possible states
are: pending, running, completing, completed, failed, timeout, and node_fail.
Example 9-3 uses the squeue command to report on failed jobs.
Example 9-3 Reporting on Failed Jobs in the Queue
$ squeue --state=FAILED
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON)
59 amt1 hostname root F 0:00 0
9.5 Terminating Jobs with the scancel Command
The scancel command cancels a pending or running job or job step. It can also be used to send
a specified signal to all processes on all nodes associated with a job. Only job owners or
administrators can cancel jobs.
Example 9-4 terminates job #415 and all its jobsteps.
Example 9-4 Terminating a Job by Its JobID
$ scancel 415
Example 9-5 cancels all pending jobs.
Example 9-5 Cancelling All Pending Jobs
$ scancel --state=PENDING
Example 9-6 sends the TERM signal to terminate jobsteps 421.2 and 421.3.
Example 9-6 Sending a Signal to a Job
$ scancel --signal=TERM 421.2 421.3
9.6 Getting System Information with the sinfo Command
The sinfo command reports the state of partitions and nodes managed by SLURM. It has a
wide variety of filtering, sorting, and formatting options. The sinfo command displays a
summary of available partition and node (not job) information, such as partition names,
nodes/partition, and cores/node.
Example 9-7 Using the sinfo Command (No Options)
$ sinfo
PARTITION AVAIL TIMELIMIT NODES STATE NODELIST
lsf up infinite 3 down* n[0,5,8]
lsf up infinite 14 idle n[1-4,6-7,9-16]
The node STATE codes in these examples may be appended by an asterisk character (*) ; this
indicates that the reported node is not responding. See the sinfo(1) manpage for a complete listing
and description of STATE codes.
