sacct

sacct is a scheduler command used to display accounting data for all jobs and job steps in the SLURM job accounting log or SLURM database.

Documentation

Documentation is available on the system using the command

$ man sacct

Usage

The sacct command can be used to display status information about a user’s historical jobs.

The command can be used as follows with the job’s ID:

$ sacct --jobs=job-id

Or to view information about all of a specific user’s jobs:

$ sacct --user=$USER

By default the sacct command will only bring up information about the user’s job from the current day. By using the --starttime flag the command will look further back to the given date e.g. :

$ sacct --user=$USER --starttime=YYYY-MM-DD

Like the sstat command, the --format flag can be used to choose the command output:

$ sacct --user=$USER --format=var_1,var_2, ... ,var_N
