sacct: Display job id, job state, job exit code for recent jobs.
$ sacct --brief
try on your machine

The sacct command is used to display information about job accounting data on a cluster system or a specific job. The --brief option is used to display a concise summary of job accounting data.

By running sacct --brief, you will receive a condensed overview of job accounting data. This includes information such as job ID, JobName, User, State, Start Time, End Time, and elapsed time. The output will usually be in a tabular format to allow for easier reading and analysis of the data.

It is a useful command for administrators, system managers, or users who want a quick overview of job accounting metrics without the additional details provided by other sacct options.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
