Expand columns to see full jobname in Slurm

Is it possible to expand the number of characters used in the JobName column of the command sacct in SLURM?

For example, I currently have:

       JobID    JobName    Elapsed      NCPUS   NTasks      State 
------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- 
12345      lengthy_na+   00:00:01         4         1      FAILED

and I would like:

       JobID    JobName    Elapsed      NCPUS   NTasks      State 
------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ---------- 
12345      lengthy_name   00:00:01         4         1      FAILED
Solution

  • You should use the format option, with:

    sacct --helpformat

    you'll see the parameters to show, for instance:

    sacct --format="JobID,JobName%30"

    will print the job id and the name up to 30 characters:

           JobID                        JobName
------------ ------------------------------
19009                                  bash
19010                             launch.sh
19010.0                     hydra_pmi_proxy
19010.1                     hydra_pmi_proxy

    Now, you can customize your own output.
