Viewing the Historical Information for a Job

The LSF bhist command is a good tool for tracking the lifetime of a job within LSF-HPC. The bhist command provides detailed information about a job, including running, pending, and suspended jobs, information such as the amount of time spent in various states, and in-depth information about a job's progress while the job was under LSF-HPC control.

Refer to the LSF bhist manpage for more information about this command, its options, and its output.

A brief summary about a finished job can be obtained with the bhist command, shown in Example 9-6. This command provides statistics about the amount of time that the job has spent in various states.

Example	9-6 Using the bhist Command (Short Output)
$ bhist 24
Summary of time in seconds spent in					various		states:
JOBID	USER	JOB_NAME	PEND	PSUSP	RUN	USUSP		SSUSP	UNKWN	TOTAL
24	smith	bin/bash	11	0	220	0		0	0	231

The information in the output provided by this example is explained in Table 9-1, “Output Provided by the bhist Command”.

Table 9-1 Output Provided by the bhist Command

JOBID	The job ID that LSF-HPC assigned to the job.
USER	The user who submitted the job.
JOB_NAME	The job name assigned by the user.
PEND	The total waiting time, excluding user suspended time, before the job is dispatched.
PSUSP	The total user suspended time of a pending job.
RUN	The total run time of the job.
USUSP	The total user suspended time after the job is dispatched.
SSUSP	The total system suspended time after the job is dispatched.
UNKWN	The total unknown time of the job.
TOTAL	The total time that the job has spent in all states.

To get detailed information about a finished job, add the -loption to the bhist command, shown in Example 9-7. The -loption specifies that the long format is requested.
