Checking the job execution status (qstat)
Checking the job submission status
qstate checks whether the submitted job by using qsub was submitted as a job. To check the status of the submitted job, use the qstat command. For example, when the job is submitted, qstate shows as follows.
[username@at027 ~]$ qstat
job-ID prior name user state submit/start at queue jclass slots ja-task-ID
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
80312 0.50000 QLOGIN username r 02/27/2019 17:42:00 login.q@at027 1
80313 0.25000 jobname username r 02/27/2019 17:44:30 epyc.q@at040 1
80314 0.25000 jobname username r 02/27/2019 17:44:35 epyc.q@at040 1
80315 0.25000 jobname username r 02/27/2019 17:44:40 epyc.q@at040 1
The meanings of the characters in the "state" colum at this time are as follows.
| state | meaning |
|---|---|
| r | running |
| qw | queued, waiting |
| t | transferring to the execution host |
| E | error in the job |
| d | the job is in the process of being deleted |
The "qstat -f" command shows the queue usage status like this output result.
[username@at027 ~]$ qstat -f

This makes it possible to determine which node (queue) the job is submitted to.
"qstaus -j jobID" prints information about the job with a list.

Checking the status of all cluster queues
To get a grasp on the job submission status of each queue, the queue load status, etc., type and execute "qstat -g c". You can also get the overall status with it.
[username@at027 ~]$ qstat -g c

The meanings of the numbers are as follows
- USED: Number of slots currently in use
- RES: Number of Advance Reservation slots
- AVAIL: Number of available slots
- TOTAL: Total number of slots
- aoACDS: Number of slots which the compute node is in one of the aoACDS states
- cdsuE: Number of slots which the compute node is in one of the cdsuE states
You can find more details with man qstat.
Deleting jobs(qdel)
The qdel command is used to delete a job without waiting for the job to finish. Use "qdel jobID". "qdel -u username" enables to delete all jobs that you have submitted.
| Parameter Description | Description |
|---|---|
| -f job_id(s) | Forces the deletion a job even if the responsible execution host does not respond. |
| job_id -t range | Deletes specific tasks of an array job. It is also possible to delete a specific range of array jobs. |
| -u user_list | Deletes all job of the specified user. |
Changing the job execution condition(qalter)
Checking the result of jobs
About the result, if you don't specify any options in the qsub command line, the standard output is output to the file named job name.o job ID and the standard error output is output with the following file name in the home directory.
job name.e jobID
You can use the qreport command to check detailed information such as how much resources the executed job used.

Setup of environment variables required for running Grid Engine
To be able to execute commands such as qsub of Grid Engine, a series of environment variables must be set up. Normally, you do not need to set up these environment variables yourself because they are automatically set up when you login to the gateway node of the general analysis division.
Explicit setup may be required in special cases, such as when you use qsub from the Singularity container. In this case, execute the following command.
As in the User’s Manual, the necessary environment variables are set up by executing the shell script provided by Grid Engine as follows:
export SGE_ROOT=/home/geadmin/UGER
export SGE_CELL=uger
source $SGE_ROOT/$SGE_CELL/common/settings.sh
