sstat: Display status information of a comma-separated list of jobs.
$ sstat --jobs=${job_id}
try on your machine

The command "sstat --jobs=${job_id}" is used to display the status information of a specific job in a Slurm job scheduler system.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • "sstat" is the executable or command name used to query the job status in the Slurm scheduler.
  • "--jobs=${job_id}" is an argument passed to the "sstat" command. The syntax "${job_id}" indicates that the value of the variable "job_id" should be substituted here. This variable represents the specific job ID for which you want to retrieve status information.

By running this command with the appropriate job ID, you will get detailed information about the status and various attributes of that specific job, such as the job's state (running, completed, etc.), its resource usage, run time, and other relevant details.

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.
