✨ GLOBUS-JOB-STATUS(1) ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the Grid Community Toolkit Manual page for globus-job-status — she's the friend who texts the group chat "so… how's that job going?? 👀" and actually gets an answer. 🎀

💖 NAME 💖

globus-job-status — check the status of a GRAM5 job. like, is it alive, is it napping, is it done-done? we find out. 🦋

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

globus-job-status JOBID

globus-job-status -help | -usage | -version | -versions

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so here's the vibe: the globus-job-status program checks the status of a GRAM job by sending a status request to the job manager contact for that job — and that job is specified by the JOBID parameter. if it works, it prints the job status to standard output. no cap. 💅

the states supported by globus-job-status are:

• PENDING — the job got submitted to the LRM but hasn't started executing yet. it's in its waiting era. 🙈
• ACTIVE — the job has begun execution. she's up, she's running, main character energy. 🔥
• FAILED — the job has failed. 😭 rip
• SUSPENDED — the job is currently suspended by the LRM. on pause, bestie. 💀
• DONE — the job has completed. ate and left no crumbs. ✨
• UNSUBMITTED — GRAM accepted the job, but it hasn't been submitted to the LRM yet. sitting in the drafts folder fr fr. 🍓
• STAGE_IN — GRAM accepted the job and it's currently staging files prior to being submitted to the LRM. moving files around, doing the prep. 🧚
• STAGE_OUT — the job has completed execution and is currently staging files from the service node to other http, GASS, or GridFTP servers. post-show cleanup era. 🌈

✨ OPTIONS ✨

the full set of options to globus-job-status are:

• -help, -usage — display a help message to standard error and exit. it's giving "let me explain myself". 🫶
• -version — display the software version of the globus-job-status program to standard output. 🎀
• -versions — display the software version of the globus-job-status program including DiRT information to standard output. the deluxe version, lowkey. ⭐

💀 BUGS 💀

the globus-job-status program can not distinguish between the case of the job manager terminating for any reason and the job being in the DONE state. 😭
