qstat and long job names

Question

How can I get qstat to give me full job names?

I know qstat -r gives detailed information about the task, but it\'s too much and the resource r

Answer 1

This on is a bit messy, but it works as a simple solution to have in the command history. All standard tools. Output is pretty much the same as what you get from a normal qstat call, but you won't get the headers:

One-liner:

qstat -xml | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's#]*>#\n#g' \
  | sed 's#<[^>]*>##g' | grep " " | column -t

Description of commands:

List jobs as XML:

qstat -xml

Remove all newlines:

tr '\n' ' '

Add newline before each job entry in the list:

sed 's#]*>#\n#g'

Remove all XML stuff:

sed 's#<[^>]*>##g'

Hack to add newline at the end:

grep " "

Columnize:

column -t
