Monitoring GE Serial and Parallel Batch Jobs

You can monitor jobs through the Electronics Desktop user interface, or through the command line.

The suggestions below are for GE serial jobs and GE parallel jobs.

GE qstat Command

The SGE qstat command may be used to display information on jobs and queues. If the -j option is included, then information on jobs is displayed. If the option includes a job list ( -j [ job_list ] ), then the displayed information is limited to the jobs in the job list.

The -uuser,... option limits the output to jobs associated with users in the user list. If the -uuser,... option is not specified, then information on queues or jobs of the current user are displayed.

The -t option displays extended information about the subtasks of each displayed job. This is equivalent to the -g t option. The -r option displays extended information about the resource requirements of the displayed jobs.

See the SGE manual pages for more information.
