NAME
qacct - report and account for Sun Grid Engine usage
SYNOPSIS
qacct [ -ar [ar_id] ] [ -A Account ] [ -b BeginTime ] [ -d Days ] [ -e EndTime ] [ -g [GroupId|GroupName]
] [ -h [HostName] ] [ -help ] [ -j [job_id|job_name|pattern] ] [ -l attr=val,... ] [ -o [Owner] ] [ -pe
[PEname] ] [ -q [wc_queue] ] [ -slots [SlotNumber] ] [ -t task_id_range_list ] [ -P [Project] ] [ -D
[Department] ] [ -f AcctFileName ]
DESCRIPTION
The qacct utility scans the accounting data file (see accounting(5)) and produces a summary of
information for wall-clock time, cpu-time, and system time for the categories of hostname, queue-name,
group-name, owner-name, job-name, job-ID and for the queues meeting the resource requirements as
specified with the -l switch. Combinations of each category are permitted. Alternatively, all or
specific jobs can be listed with the -j switch. For example the search criteria could include
summarizing for a queue and an owner, but not for two queues in the same request.
OPTIONS
-ar [ar_id]
The ID of the advance reservation for which usage is summarized. If ar_id is not given,
accounting data is listed for each advance reservation separately.
-A Account
The account for jobs to be summarized.
-b BeginTime
The earliest start time for jobs to be summarized, in the format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]. See also
-d option. If CC is not specified, a YY of < 70 means 20YY.
-d Days
The number of days to summarize and print accounting information on. If used together with the -b
BeginTime option (see above), jobs started within BeginTime to BeginTime + Days are counted. If
used together with the -e EndTime (see below) option, count starts at EndTime - Days.
-e EndTime
The latest start time for jobs to be summarized, in the format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]. See also -d
option. If CC is not specified, a YY of < 70 means 20YY.
[-f AcctFileName]
The accounting file to be used. If omitted, the system default accounting file is processed.
-g [GroupId|GroupName]
The numeric system group id or the group alphanumeric name of the job owners to be included in the
accounting. If GroupId/GroupName is omitted, all groups are accounted.
-h [HostName]
The case-insensitive name of the host upon which accounting information is requested. If the name
is omitted, totals for each host are listed separately.
-help Display help information for the qacct command.
-j [job_id|job_name|pattern]
The name, a expression for matching names, or ID of the job during execution for which accounting
information is printed. If neither a name nor an ID is given all jobs are enlisted.
This option changes the output format of qacct. If activated, CPU times are no longer accumulated
but the "raw" accounting information is printed in a formatted form instead. See accounting(5)
for an explanation of the displayed information.
-l attr=val,...
A resource requirement specification which must be met by the queues in which the jobs being
accounted were executing. The resource request is very similar to the one described in qsub(1).
-o [Owner]
The name of the owner of the jobs for which accounting statistics are assembled. If the optional
Owner argument is omitted, a listing of the accounting statistics of all job owners being present
in the accounting file is produced.
-pe [PEname]
The name of the parallel environment for which usage is summarized. If PEname is not given,
accounting data is listed for each parallel environment separately.
-q [wc_queue_name]
A expression for queues for which usage is summarized. All queue instances matching the expression
will be listed. If no expression is specified, a cluster queue summary will be given.
-slots [SlotNumber]
The number of queue slots for which usage is summarized. If SlotNumber is not given, accounting
data is listed for each number of queue slots separately.
-t task_id_range_list
Only available together with the -j option described above.
The -t switch specifies the array job task range, for which accounting information should be
printed. Syntax and semantics of task_id_range_list are identical to that one described under the
-t option to qsub(1). Please see there also for further information on array jobs.
-P [Project]
The name of the project for which usage is summarized. If Project is not given, accounting data
is listed for each owning project separately.
-D [Department]
The name of the department for which usage is summarized. If Department is not given, accounting
data is listed for each owning department separately.
ENVIRONMENTAL VARIABLES
SGE_ROOT Specifies the location of the Sun Grid Engine standard configuration files.
SGE_CELL If set, specifies the default Sun Grid Engine cell. To address a Sun Grid Engine cell
qacct uses (in the order of precedence):
The name of the cell specified in the environment variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.
The name of the default cell, i.e. default.
SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
If set, specifies that debug information should be written to stderr. In addition the
level of detail in which debug information is generated is defined.
SGE_QMASTER_PORT
If set, specifies the tcp port on which sge_qmaster(8) is expected to listen for
communication requests. Most installations will use a services map entry for the service
"sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.
SGE_EXECD_PORT If set, specifies the tcp port on which sge_execd(8) is expected to listen for
communication requests. Most installations will use a services map entry for the service
"sge_execd" instead to define that port.
FILES
<sge_root>/<cell>/common/accounting
