Advanced SLURM usage

When running batch jobs, it is necessary to interact with the job queue. It is usually helpful to be able to see information about the system, the queue, the nodes, and your job. This can be accomplished through a set of important commands:

• squeue: Displays information about jobs in the scheduling queue.

• sjstat: Displays a short summary of running jobs and scheduling pool data.

• showuserjobs: Displays short summary of jobs by user and account, and a summary of node state.

• sstat: Displays information about specific jobs.

• sinfo: Reports system status (nodes, queues, etc.)

• sacct: Displays accounting information from the Slurm database.
