Job Management

Job status

However, if there is no empty slot, the job will be listed in a pending (PD) state. You can view it by using the command squeue. The output column ST stands for state. A running job is displayed with a state R. The Compute node where the job is running on is shown in the last column.

[user@pollux]$ squeue

Job deletion
