Useful CLI tools

The following are some useful CLI tools available on the headnode (sc.stanford.edu) which may help you achieve better experience while working on the cluster.

  • pestat - line-by-line summary of the cluster (with filters for user/partition)
  • showaccount - shows which accounts you currently have access to 
  • showjob <jobid> - show job details and other useful info. Very useful and should be included with any support ticket.
  • showalloc <partition> - show system resources (CPU/RAM/GPU...etc) currently allocated within the partition in an easier to read format.
