So you've launched a job, yay! There are two main ways that you can now check on the status of your jobs.
Running qstat from your terminal will give you a table with statistics about all of the jobs currently running on the sub-cluster you are logged into. The output of this command will look like:
A much more helpful command however is qstat -u [USERNAME].
What does this table tell us?
Job ID: The unique ID given to our job
Username: The user who launched the job
NDS: Number of nodes reserved
TSK: Number of total processors reserved
Req'd Time: Amount of walltime requested
Elap Time: How long the job has been running for. If the job is in the queue and waiting to be launched, this line will look like
-----------
qsu is a shortcut for qstat -u [USERNAME]. Running it will give you the exact same printout.
