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
    
Storing job data in ./11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz
    
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz_afslog_00000001.pid  # Process identification number (PID)
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.ER                   # Standard error
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.JB                   # PBS parameters in binary format, not human readable
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.JB.TXT               # PBS parameters in text format, readable
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.MOM_LOGS             # PBS logs
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.OU                   # Standard output
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.SC                   # Original user's shell script
11808203.pbs-m1.metacentrum.cz.SYSLOG               # System logs from the computing node

The pbs-get-job-history utility does not retrieve input data and job results (they are not stored anywhere).

Output for interactive jobs does not contain .ER, .OU and .SC files
