SLURM Reference Manual for HP XC System Software

SQUEUE (List Jobs)
SQUEUE Execute Line
SQUEUE displays the job ID and job name for every job currently managed by the SLURM control
daemon (SLURMCTLD) on the machine where you run SQUEUE, along with status and resource
information for each job (such as time used so far, or a list of committed nodes), in a table whose content
and format details you can control with SQUEUE options. (To report on node status rather than job status,
use SINFO (page 53) instead.)
BASIC RUN.
To run SQUEUE (on any machine with SLURM installed), type
squeue [opts]
where opts is a blank-delimited list of SQUEUE output-control options and their (comma-delimited)
arguments.
COLUMNS.
If run without options, SQUEUE reports by default on these job properties (in this order in columns left
to right) and then ends:
job ID
partition
job name
user name
status (state) of job [for codes, see later section]
time used so far (hours:minutes:seconds)
total nodes (allocated or used)
node list (specific node names)
See the first example (page 50) below for typical default SQUEUE output. You can change the properties
reported (and the order of the output columns) by using SQUEUE's -o (lowercase oh, --format) option.
ROWS.
Each row in the SQUEUE report describes one job (or, if you request, one job step; but job steps are not
supported on BlueGene/L). SQUEUE sorts the rows (alphabetically, or in decreasing magnitude) using
this ranked list of job properties:
partition name
status (state) of job
priority
time used so far
You can change the sort order (to more closely match PSUB by relying on job ID or job name, for example)
by using SQUEUE's -S (uppercase ess, --sort) option.
