Getting Information about Job Resources
It can be useful to know how many resources a job has used, for example to adjust the requested resources of a similar following job. The sacct-command can be used for this purpose. Information about a specific job are obtained with the option -j <job-id>, e.g.:
$ sacct -j 21400
JobID JobName Partition Account AllocCPUS State ExitCode
------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- ---------- --------
21400 g09test carl.p 8 COMPLETED 0:0
21400.batch batch 8 COMPLETED 0:0
The command returns information about the job itself (first line) and individual job steps (following lines). A job step is defined by the srun-command used within a job script.
