squeue: View jobs queued by a specific user.
$ squeue -u ${username}
try on your machine

The squeue -u ${username} command lists the status of the jobs in the queue for a specific user.

Here is a breakdown of the components of the command:

  • squeue: This is the command used to view the job queue and its status. It is commonly used in cluster computing environments.

  • -u: This option specifies that we want to filter the output by user.

  • ${username}: This is a placeholder for the actual username of the user whose job queue is to be displayed. You would replace ${username} with the desired username.

By running this command, you can see the status of the jobs in the queue for the specified user. The output typically includes information such as Job ID, Job Name, Partition, Node List, and Job State (e.g., pending, running, completed).

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.
