qstat-pretty is a parser and pretty-printer for the output of the Grid Engine or Torque Resource Manager qstat programs or the Platform LSF bjobs program. It will parse the output produced by qstat / bjobs and display it in a table.
Some nice features:
- Table automatically grows with the size of the columns (up to the terminal width)
- Different table styles to choose from
- Can query local and remote grid status using SSH
- Support for Torque Resource Manager, GridEngine, Platform LSF
qstat-pretty requires Python 2.6 or later (Python 3 supported!) and no additional modules.
To use locally:
-
Check out qstat-pretty somewhere
-
Copy qstat-pretty.conf.example to one of these locations - and edit to customize:
/etc/qstat-pretty/qstat-pretty.conf~/.config/qstat-pretty/qstat-pretty.conf
-
Link the pstat executable somewhere that can be found in
$PATH -
You can now use the
pstatcommand.
qstat-pretty is still in very early development, so give me a message if you have problems getting things to run.
$ pstat
pstat supports getting job data from three sources. This can be configured using the qstat-pretty.conf file or via the command line:
- The local system (by running the status command) (default!)
- Another host (by running a command via
ssh) (use the--source-ssh [hostname]option) - A file (use the
--source-file [path]option)
All other parameters passed to pstat will be passed on to the actual status command. Examples:
-
Show my job status on the current system:
$ pstat -
Show my job status on the cluster head node reachable by
ssh clustmaster:$ pstat --source-ssh clustmaster -
Show job status for all users on clustmaster (for Platform LSF, use
-u all):$ pstat --source-ssh clustmaster -u "*" -
Show job status on clustmaster for user jdoe:
$ pstat --source-ssh clustmaster -u jdoe
