Slurm - job name, job ids, how to know which job is which?


I often run many jobs on slurm. Some finish faster than others. However, it is always hard to keep track which job is which. Can I give custom job names on slurm? If so what is the command on the batch script? Would that show up when I do squeue --me?

Solution

  • The parameter is --job-name (or -J), for instance:

    #SBATCH --job-name=exp1_run2
    

    The squeue output will list exp1_run2 for the corresponding job ID under column NAME.
