Command options
This table provides information about each of the command options for
monitoring batches.

Monitoring command option

Description

[-clustername ]

Use to specify the name of the cluster to which the job was sent.

[-clusterid
address:port number>]

Optionally, you can use -clusterid to enter the cluster ID and port
number instead of using -clustername.

Or, if you used -clustername and the cluster requires a password,
use -clusterid to specify the user name and password. (You need to
include the IP address: port number as well whenever you use
-clusterid.)

Tip: Use Apple Qmaster -show or Compressor -show to see a cluster’s
IP address and port number.

[-jobid -batchid
]

Use to specify the job you want to monitor.

When you use the -jobid option, you must also specify the -batchid,
in the form of the name that was given to the batch when it was
submitted. (The batchid and jobid are displayed after a batch is
submitted.)

If you do not use the -jobid option, all the jobs submitted to the
specified cluster are listed.

[-timeout ]

Use to specify the number of seconds before Batch Monitor can
quit when looking for a cluster. The default value is 0, which puts
no limit on the timeout and allows Batch Monitor to browse the
network for as long as it needs to find the cluster.

[-query ]

Use to specify how frequently, in seconds, the job status should be
updated.

[-kill -jobid -batchid
]

Cancels the specified job or batch.

[-help]

Displays information about supported options for Batch \ Monitor.
