Viewing Queue Information
The bqueues command displays information about queues. The bqueues -l option
also gives current statistics about the jobs in a particular queue such as the total number
of jobs in the queue, the number of jobs running, suspended, and so on.
In addition to the procedures listed here, see the
bqueues(1) man page for more
details.
Viewing available queues and queue status
Run bqueues. You can view the current status of a particular queue or all queues. The
bqueues command also displays available queues in the cluster.
% bqueues
QUEUE_NAME PRIO STATUS MAX JL/U JL/P JL/H NJOBS PEND RUN SUSP
interactive 400 Open:Active - ---2 0 20
priority 43 Open:Active - ---16 4 111

A dash (-) in any entry means that the column does not apply to the row. In this example
some queues have no per-queue, per-user or per-processor job limits configured, so the
MAX, JL/U and JL/P entries are shown as a dash.
Viewing detailed queue information
To see the complete status and configuration for each queue, run bqueues -l. You
can specify queue names on the command-line to select specific queues. In the example
below, more detail is requested for the queue
normal.
% bqueues -l normal
QUEUE: normal
--For normal low priority jobs, running only if hosts are lightly loaded.
This is the default queue.
