Expand columns to see full jobname in Slurm

Question

Is it possible to expand the number of characters used in the JobName column of the command sacct in SLURM?

For example, I currently have:

       JobID    JobName    Elapsed      NCPUS   NTasks      State  ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ----------  12345      lengthy_na+   00:00:01         4         1      FAILED  

and I would like:

       JobID    JobName    Elapsed      NCPUS   NTasks      State  ------------ ---------- ---------- ---------- -------- ----------  12345      lengthy_name   00:00:01         4         1      FAILED  

Answer 1

You should use the format option, with:

sacct --helpformat 

you'll see the parameters to show, for instance:

sacct --format="JobID,JobName%30" 

will print the job id and the name up to 30 characters:

       JobID                        JobName ------------ ------------------------------ 19009                                  bash 19010                             launch.sh 19010.0                     hydra_pmi_proxy 19010.1                     hydra_pmi_proxy 

Now, you can to customize your own output.
