Is there a way to check the position of my jobs within an LSF queue?
If I run:
bjobs -u all -q my_queue
I get a list of jobs from all users within my_queue
, but is this list sorted by the position of my jobs within the queue?
I believe you're interested in pending jobs.
This will show all pending jobs in a queue.
bjobs -u all -p -q my_queue
This list is sorted by position in queue.
The position is based on job priority and submit time.
Keep in mind, what is displayed is not a perfect indication of when a job will run. LSF will start jobs as the correct resources are available. A job requiring a lot of resources may be first in the queue. But if the required resources are not available, LSF will start other jobs behind it that are within the available resources.
