Checking the status of the submitted job in HPC

The submitted jobs in PBS queue system can be checked whether they are in queue still, or running, or completed, etc. The command to use (in PBS software) is qstate.

Job id            Name             User              Time Use S Queue
----------------  ---------------- ----------------  -------- - -----
306.clr     jobname              user              10:36:59 R worke

Commands to use are:
qstat    (lists all the jobs with some details)
qstat -n  (list all the jobs with total number of CPUs running the jobs
qstat -u user (list all the jobs submitted by the user)
