qacct command

The qacct utility scans the accounting data file (see accounting(5)) and produces a summary of information for wall-clock time, cpu-time, and system time for the categories of hostname, queue-name, group-name, owner-name, job-name, job-ID and for the queues meeting the resource requirements as specified with the -l switch. Combinations of each category are permitted. Alternatively, all or specific jobs can be listed with the -j switch. For example the search criteria could include summarizing for a queue and an owner, but not for two queues in the same request.

$ qacct -j

then you should pipe that to something like tail -n <number of lines> because you only want the end of the massive log that it will spit out.

Alternately, you can use:

$ qacct -j <job number> 

There are many other useful options, such as getting all jobs by a specific user, etc. See man qacct  for them.

If the job is still running, use qstat  instead of qacct  above to get the same info.

Reference

qacct - report and account for Grid Engine usage

qacct [ -ar [ar_id] ] [ -A Account ] [ -b BeginTime ] [ -d Days ] [ -e EndTime ] [ -g [GroupId|GroupName] ] [ -h [HostName] ] [ -help ] [ -j [job_id|job_name|pattern] ] [ -l attr=val,... ] [ -o [Owner] ] [ -pe [PEname] ] [ -q [wc_queue] ] [ -slots [SlotNumber] ] [ -t task_id_range_list ] [ -P [Project] ] [ -D [Department] ] [ -f AcctFileName ]

Options

-ar  [ ar_id ]  


	

	The ID of the advance reservation for which usage is summarized. If ar_id 
	is not given, accounting data is listed for each advance reservation 
	separately. 
	
	

	-A Account
	
	

	The account for jobs to be summarized. 
	
	

	-b BeginTime
	
	

	The earliest start time for jobs to be summarized, in the format 
	[[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]. See also -d option. If CC is not specified, a 
	YY of < 70 means 20YY. 
	
	

	-d Days
	
	

	The number of days to summarize and print accounting information on. If used 
	together with the -b BeginTime option (see above), jobs started 
	within BeginTime to BeginTime + Days are counted. If 
	used together with the -e EndTime (see below) option, count starts at
	EndTime - Days. 
	
	

	-e EndTime
	
	

	The latest start time for jobs to be summarized, in the format 
	[[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]. See also -d option. If CC is not specified, a 
	YY of < 70 means 20YY. 
	
	

	[-f AcctFileName]
	
	

	The accounting file to be used. If omitted, the system default accounting 
	file is processed. 
	
	

	-g [GroupId|GroupName]
	
	

	The numeric system group id or the group alphanumeric name of the job owners 
	to be included in the accounting. If GroupId/GroupName is 
	omitted, all groups are accounted. 
	
	

	-h [HostName]
	
	

	The case-insensitive name of the host upon which accounting information is 
	requested. If the name is omitted, totals for each host are listed 
	separately. 
	
	

	-help
	

	
Display help information for the qacct command. 

	

	-j [job_id|job_name|pattern]
	
	

	The name, a expression for matching names, or ID of the job during execution 
	for which accounting information is printed. If neither a name nor an ID is 
	given all jobs are enlisted.

	This option changes the output format of qacct. If activated, CPU 
	times are no longer accumulated but the "raw" accounting information is 
	printed in a formatted form instead. See accounting(5) for an 
	explanation of the displayed information. 
	
	

	-l attr=val,...
	
	

	A resource requirement specification which must be met by the queues in 
	which the jobs being accounted were executing. The resource request is very 
	similar to the one described in 
	qsub(1). 
	
	

	-o [Owner]
	
	

	The name of the owner of the jobs for which accounting statistics are 
	assembled. If the optional Owner argument is omitted, a listing of 
	the accounting statistics of all job owners being present in the accounting 
	file is produced. 
	
	

	-pe [PEname]
	
	

	The name of the parallel environment for which usage is summarized. If 
	PEname is not given, accounting data is listed for each parallel 
	environment separately. 
	
	

	-q [wc_queue_name]
	
	

	A expression for queues for which usage is summarized. All queue instances 
	matching the expression will be listed. If no expression is specified, a 
	cluster queue summary will be given. 
	
	

	-slots [SlotNumber]
	
	

	The number of queue slots for which usage is summarized. If SlotNumber 
	is not given, accounting data is listed for each number of queue slots 
	separately. 
	
	

	-t task_id_range_list
	
	

	Only available together with the -j option described above. 

	
The -t switch specifies the array job task range, for which 
	accounting information should be printed. Syntax and semantics of 
	task_id_range_list are identical to that one described under the -t 
	option to qsub(1). 
	Please see there also for further information on array jobs.
	
	

	-P [Project]
	
	

	The name of the project for which usage is summarized. If Project is 
	not given, accounting data is listed for each owning project separately. 
	
	

	-D [Department]
	
	

	The name of the department for which usage is summarized. If Department 
	is not given, accounting data is listed for each owning department 
	separately. 
	


Environmental Variables


	

	GE_ROOT
	

	
Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard configuration files.
	

	
GE_CELL 

	
If set, specifies the default Grid Engine cell. To address a Grid Engine 
	cell qacct uses (in the order of precedence): 



The name of the cell specified in the environment variable GE_CELL, if it is 
set. 

The name of the default cell, i.e. default. 


	

	GE_DEBUG_LEVEL
	

	
If set, specifies that debug information should be written to stderr. In 
	addition the level of detail in which debug information is generated is 
	defined. 

	

	GE_QMASTER_PORT
	


If set, specifies the tcp port on which ge_qmaster(8) is expected to 
listen for communication requests. Most installations will use a services map 
entry for the service "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port. 


	

	GE_EXECD_PORT
	

	
If set, specifies the tcp port on which ge_execd(8) is expected to 
	listen for communication requests. Most installations will use a services 
	map entry for the service "sge_execd" instead to define that port.
