NAME
squeue - view information about jobs located in the Slurm scheduling queue.
SYNOPSIS
squeue [OPTIONS...]
DESCRIPTION
squeue is used to view job and job step information for jobs managed by Slurm.
OPTIONS
-A <account_list>, --account=<account_list>
Specify the accounts of the jobs to view. Accepts a comma separated list of account
names. This has no effect when listing job steps.
-a, --all
Display information about jobs and job steps in all partitions. This causes
information to be displayed about partitions that are configured as hidden and
partitions that are unavailable to user's group.
-r, --array
Display one job array element per line. Without this option, the display will be
optimized for use with job arrays (pending job array elements will be combined on
one line of output with the array index values printed using a regular expression).
-h, --noheader
Do not print a header on the output.
--help Print a help message describing all options squeue.
--hide Do not display information about jobs and job steps in all partitions. By default,
information about partitions that are configured as hidden or are not available to
the user's group will not be displayed (i.e. this is the default behavior).
-i <seconds>, --iterate=<seconds>
Repeatedly gather and report the requested information at the interval specified
(in seconds). By default, prints a time stamp with the header.
-j <job_id_list>, --jobs=<job_id_list>
Requests a comma separated list of job IDs to display. Defaults to all jobs. The
--jobs=<job_id_list> option may be used in conjunction with the --steps option to
print step information about specific jobs. Note: If a list of job IDs is
provided, the jobs are displayed even if they are on hidden partitions. Since this
option's argument is optional, for proper parsing the single letter option must be
followed immediately with the value and not include a space between them. For
example "-j1008" and not "-j 1008". The job ID format is "job_id[_array_id]".
Performance of the command can be measurably improved for systems with large
numbers of jobs when a single job ID is specified. By default, this field size
will be limited to 64 bytes. Use the environment variable SLURM_BITSTR_LEN to
specify larger field sizes.
-l, --long
Report more of the available information for the selected jobs or job steps,
subject to any constraints specified.
-L, --licenses=<license_list>
Request jobs requesting or using one or more of the named licenses. The license
list consists of a comma separated list of license names.
-M, --clusters=<string>
Clusters to issue commands to. Multiple cluster names may be comma separated. A
value of of 'all' will query to run on all clusters.
-n, --name=<name_list>
Request jobs or job steps having one of the specified names. The list consists of
a comma separated list of job names.
--noconvert
Don't convert units from their original type (e.g. 2048M won't be converted to 2G).
-o <output_format>, --format=<output_format>
Specify the information to be displayed, its size and position (right or left
justified). Also see the -O <output_format>, --Format=<output_format> option
described below (which supports less flexibility in formatting, but supports access
to all fields). The default formats with various options are
default "%.18i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.10M %.6D %R"
-l, --long "%.18i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.8T %.10M %.9l %.6D %R"
-s, --steps "%.15i %.8j %.9P %.8u %.9M %N"
The format of each field is "%[[.]size]type".
size is the minimum field size. If no size is specified, whatever is needed to
print the information will be used.
. indicates the output should be right justified and size must be specified.
By default, output is left justified.
Note that many of these type specifications are valid only for jobs while others
are valid only for job steps. Valid type specifications include:
%all Print all fields available for this data type with a vertical bar separating
each field.
%a Account associated with the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%A Number of tasks created by a job step. This reports the value of the srun
--ntasks option. (Valid for job steps only)
%A Job id. This will have a unique value for each element of job arrays.
(Valid for jobs only)
%b Generic resources (gres) required by the job or step. (Valid for jobs and
job steps)
%B Executing (batch) host. For an allocated session, this is the host on which
the session is executing (i.e. the node from which the the srun or the salloc
command was executed). For a batch job, this is the node executing the batch
script. In the case of a typical Linux cluster, this would be the compute
node zero of the allocation. In the case of a BlueGene or a Cray system, this
would be the front-end host whose slurmd daemon executes the job script.
%c Minimum number of CPUs (processors) per node requested by the job. This
reports the value of the srun --mincpus option with a default value of zero.
(Valid for jobs only)
%C Number of CPUs (processors) requested by the job or allocated to it if
already running. As a job is completing this number will reflect the current
number of CPUs allocated. (Valid for jobs only)
%d Minimum size of temporary disk space (in MB) requested by the job. (Valid
for jobs only)
%D Number of nodes allocated to the job or the minimum number of nodes required
by a pending job. The actual number of nodes allocated to a pending job may
exceed this number if the job specified a node range count (e.g. minimum and
maximum node counts) or the the job specifies a processor count instead of a
node count and the cluster contains nodes with varying processor counts. As a
job is completing this number will reflect the current number of nodes
allocated. (Valid for jobs only)
%e Time at which the job ended or is expected to end (based upon its time
limit). (Valid for jobs only)
%E Job dependencies remaining. This job will not begin execution until these
dependent jobs complete. In the case of a job that can not run due to job
dependencies never being satisfied, the full original job dependency
specification will be reported. A value of NULL implies this job has no
dependencies. (Valid for jobs only)
%f Features required by the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%F Job array's job ID. This is the base job ID. For non-array jobs, this is the
job ID. (Valid for jobs only)
%g Group name of the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%G Group ID of the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%h Can the resources allocated to the job be shared with other jobs. The
resources to be shared can be nodes, sockets, cores, or hyperthreads
depending upon configuration. The value will be "yes" if the job was
submitted with the shared option or the partition is configured with
Shared=Force, "no" if the job requires exclusive node access, and "unknwn"
otherwise (typically allocated dedicated CPUs). (Valid for jobs only)
%H Number of sockets per node requested by the job. This reports the value of
the srun --sockets-per-node option. When --sockets-per-node has not been
set, "*" is displayed. (Valid for jobs only)
%i Job or job step id. In the case of job arrays, the job ID format will be of
the form "<base_job_id>_<index>". By default, the job array index field size
will be limited to 64 bytes. Use the environment variable SLURM_BITSTR_LEN
to specify larger field sizes. (Valid for jobs and job steps)
%I Number of cores per socket requested by the job. This reports the value of
the srun --cores-per-socket option. When --cores-per-socket has not been
set, "*" is displayed. (Valid for jobs only)
%j Job or job step name. (Valid for jobs and job steps)
%J Number of threads per core requested by the job. This reports the value of
the srun --threads-per-core option. When --threads-per-core has not been
set, "*" is displayed. (Valid for jobs only)
%k Comment associated with the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%K Job array index. By default, this field size will be limited to 64 bytes.
Use the environment variable SLURM_BITSTR_LEN to specify larger field sizes.
(Valid for jobs only)
%l Time limit of the job or job step in days-hours:minutes:seconds. The value
may be "NOT_SET" if not yet established or "UNLIMITED" for no limit. (Valid
for jobs and job steps)
%L Time left for the job to execute in days-hours:minutes:seconds. This value
is calculated by subtracting the job's time used from its time limit. The
value may be "NOT_SET" if not yet established or "UNLIMITED" for no limit.
(Valid for jobs only)
%m Minimum size of memory (in MB) requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%M Time used by the job or job step in days-hours:minutes:seconds. The days and
hours are printed only as needed. For job steps this field shows the elapsed
time since execution began and thus will be inaccurate for job steps which
have been suspended. Clock skew between nodes in the cluster will cause the
time to be inaccurate. If the time is obviously wrong (e.g. negative), it
displays as "INVALID". (Valid for jobs and job steps)
%n List of node names (or base partitions on BlueGene systems) explicitly
requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%N List of nodes allocated to the job or job step. In the case of a COMPLETING
job, the list of nodes will comprise only those nodes that have not yet been
returned to service. (Valid for jobs and job steps)
%o The command to be executed.
%O Are contiguous nodes requested by the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%p Priority of the job (converted to a floating point number between 0.0 and
1.0). Also see %Q. (Valid for jobs only)
%P Partition of the job or job step. (Valid for jobs and job steps)
%q Quality of service associated with the job. (Valid for jobs only)
%Q Priority of the job (generally a very large unsigned integer). Also see %p.
(Valid for jobs only)
%r The reason a job is in its current state. See the JOB REASON CODES section
below for more information. (Valid for jobs only)

parenthesis. For terminated jobs with failure: an explanation as to why the
job failed is printed within parenthesis. For all other job states: the list
of allocate nodes. See the JOB REASON CODES section below for more
information. (Valid for jobs only)
%s Node selection plugin specific data for a job. Possible data includes:
Geometry requirement of resource allocation (X,Y,Z dimensions), Connection
type (TORUS, MESH, or NAV == torus else mesh), Permit rotation of geometry
(yes or no), Node use (VIRTUAL or COPROCESSOR), etc. (Valid for jobs only)
%S Actual or expected start time of the job or job step. (Valid for jobs and
job steps)
%t Job state, compact form: PD (pending), R (running), CA (cancelled),
CF(configuring), CG (completing), CD (completed), F (failed), TO (timeout),
NF (node failure) and SE (special exit state). See the JOB STATE CODES
section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only)
%T Job state, extended form: PENDING, RUNNING, SUSPENDED, CANCELLED, COMPLETING,
COMPLETED, CONFIGURING, FAILED, TIMEOUT, PREEMPTED, NODE_FAIL and

When (S:C:T) has not been set, "*" is displayed. (Valid for jobs only)
%Z The job's working directory.
-O <output_format>, --Format=<output_format>
Specify the information to be displayed. Also see the -o <output_format>,
--format=<output_format> option described below (which supports greater flexibility
in formatting, but does not support access to all fields because we ran out of
letters). Requests a comma separated list of job information to be displayed.
The format of each field is "type[:[.]size]"
size is the minimum field size. If no size is specified, 20 characters will be
allocated to print the information.
. indicates the output should be right justified and size must be specified.
By default, output is left justified.

-p <part_list>, --partition=<part_list>
Specify the partitions of the jobs or steps to view. Accepts a comma separated list
of partition names.
-P, --priority
For pending jobs submitted to multiple partitions, list the job once per partition.
In addition, if jobs are sorted by priority, consider both the partition and job
priority. This option can be used to produce a list of pending jobs in the same
order considered for scheduling by Slurm with appropriate additional options (e.g.
"--sort=-p,i --states=PD").
-q <qos_list>, --qos=<qos_list>
Specify the qos(s) of the jobs or steps to view. Accepts a comma separated list of
qos's.
-R, --reservation=reservation_name
Specify the reservation of the jobs to view.
-s, --steps
Specify the job steps to view. This flag indicates that a comma separated list of
job steps to view follows without an equal sign (see examples). The job step
format is "job_id[_array_id].step_id". Defaults to all job steps. Since this
option's argument is optional, for proper parsing the single letter option must be
followed immediately with the value and not include a space between them. For
example "-s1008.0" and not "-s 1008.0".
-S <sort_list>, --sort=<sort_list>
Specification of the order in which records should be reported. This uses the same
field specification as the <output_format>. Multiple sorts may be performed by
listing multiple sort fields separated by commas. The field specifications may be
preceded by "+" or "-" for ascending (default) and descending order respectively.
For example, a sort value of "P,U" will sort the records by partition name then by
user id. The default value of sort for jobs is "P,t,-p" (increasing partition name
then within a given partition by increasing job state and then decreasing
priority). The default value of sort for job steps is "P,i" (increasing partition
name then within a given partition by increasing step id).
--start
Report the expected start time and resources to be allocated for pending jobs in
order of increasing start time. This is equivalent to the following options:
--format="%.18i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.19S %.6D %20Y %R", --sort=S and
--states=PENDING. Any of these options may be explicitly changed as desired by
combining the --start option with other option values (e.g. to use a different
output format). The expected start time of pending jobs is only available if the
Slurm is configured to use the backfill scheduling plugin.
-t <state_list>, --states=<state_list>
Specify the states of jobs to view. Accepts a comma separated list of state names
or "all". If "all" is specified then jobs of all states will be reported. If no
state is specified then pending, running, and completing jobs are reported. Valid
states (in both extended and compact form) include: PENDING (PD), RUNNING (R),
SUSPENDED (S), STOPPED (ST), COMPLETING (CG), COMPLETED (CD), CONFIGURING (CF),
CANCELLED (CA), FAILED (F), TIMEOUT (TO), PREEMPTED (PR), BOOT_FAIL (BF) ,
NODE_FAIL (NF) and SPECIAL_EXIT (SE). Note the <state_list> supplied is case
insensitive ("pd" and "PD" are equivalent). See the JOB STATE CODES section below
for more information.
-u <user_list>, --user=<user_list>
Request jobs or job steps from a comma separated list of users. The list can
consist of user names or user id numbers. Performance of the command can be
measurably improved for systems with large numbers of jobs when a single user is
specified.
--usage
Print a brief help message listing the squeue options.
-v, --verbose
Report details of squeues actions.
-V , --version
Print version information and exit.
-w <hostlist>, --nodelist=<hostlist>
Report only on jobs allocated to the specified node or list of nodes. This may
either be the NodeName or NodeHostname as defined in slurm.conf(5) in the event
that they differ. A node_name of localhost is mapped to the current host name.
JOB REASON CODES
These codes identify the reason that a job is waiting for execution. A job may be waiting
for more than one reason, in which case only one of those reasons is displayed.

Nodes which are DOWN, DRAINED, or not responding will be identified
as part of the job's "reason" field as "UnavailableNodes". Such
nodes will typically require the intervention of a system
administrator to make available.
Reservation The job is waiting its advanced reservation to become available.
Resources The job is waiting for resources to become available.
SystemFailure Failure of the Slurm system, a file system, the network, etc.
TimeLimit The job exhausted its time limit.
QOSUsageThreshold Required QOS threshold has been breached.
WaitingForScheduling No reason has been set for this job yet. Waiting for the scheduler
to determine the appropriate reason.
JOB STATE CODES
Jobs typically pass through several states in the course of their execution. The typical
states are PENDING, RUNNING, SUSPENDED, COMPLETING, and COMPLETED. An explanation of each
state follows.
BF BOOT_FAIL Job terminated due to launch failure, typically due to a hardware
failure (e.g. unable to boot the node or block and the job can not be
requeued).
CA CANCELLED Job was explicitly cancelled by the user or system administrator. The
job may or may not have been initiated.
CD COMPLETED Job has terminated all processes on all nodes with an exit code of
zero.
CF CONFIGURING Job has been allocated resources, but are waiting for them to become
ready for use (e.g. booting).
CG COMPLETING Job is in the process of completing. Some processes on some nodes may
still be active.
F FAILED Job terminated with non-zero exit code or other failure condition.
NF NODE_FAIL Job terminated due to failure of one or more allocated nodes.
PD PENDING Job is awaiting resource allocation.
PR PREEMPTED Job terminated due to preemption.
R RUNNING Job currently has an allocation.
SE SPECIAL_EXIT The job was requeued in a special state. This state can be set by
users, typically in EpilogSlurmctld, if the job has terminated with a
particular exit value.
ST STOPPED Job has an allocation, but execution has been stopped with SIGSTOP
signal. CPUS have been retained by this job.
S SUSPENDED Job has an allocation, but execution has been suspended and CPUs have
been released for other jobs.
TO TIMEOUT Job terminated upon reaching its time limit.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
Some squeue options may be set via environment variables. These environment variables,
along with their corresponding options, are listed below. (Note: Commandline options will
always override these settings.)
SLURM_BITSTR_LEN Specifies the string length to be used for holding a job array's task
ID expression. The default value is 64 bytes. A value of 0 will
print the full expression with any length required. Larger values may
adversely impact the application performance.
SLURM_CLUSTERS Same as --clusters
SLURM_CONF The location of the Slurm configuration file.
SLURM_TIME_FORMAT Specify the format used to report time stamps. A value of standard,
the default value, generates output in the form
"year-month-dateThour:minute:second". A value of relative returns
only "hour:minute:second" if the current day. For other dates in the
current year it prints the "hour:minute" preceded by "Tomorr"
(tomorrow), "Ystday" (yesterday), the name of the day for the coming
week (e.g. "Mon", "Tue", etc.), otherwise the date (e.g. "25 Apr").
For other years it returns a date month and year without a time (e.g.
"6 Jun 2012"). All of the time stamps use a 24 hour format.
A valid strftime() format can also be specified. For example, a value
of "%a %T" will report the day of the week and a time stamp (e.g. "Mon
12:34:56").

EXAMPLES
Print the jobs scheduled in the debug partition and in the COMPLETED state in the format
with six right justified digits for the job id followed by the priority with an arbitrary
fields size:
# squeue -p debug -t COMPLETED -o "%.6i %p"
JOBID PRIORITY
65543 99993
65544 99992
65545 99991
Print the job steps in the debug partition sorted by user:
# squeue -s -p debug -S u
