Use pbs-get-job-history custom command.

Users can get complex information about their current or historical (several months) batch jobs. For this there exists custom command pbs-get-job-history, which is available on all frontends and compute nodes and extracts the following information:

  • complete batch job (submitted shell script)
  • standard output and standard error files
  • various technical logs

Basic usage is:

pbs-get-job-history job_ID

When the job history is found, individual files are stored in one folder named by its jobid.

Example of the output:

user123@elmo:~$ pbs-get-job-history 11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz

11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz  Job found
