Hi David, David Laehnemann <david.laehnem...@hhu.de<mailto:david.laehnem...@hhu.de>> writes: by a workflow management system? I am probably being a bit naive, but I would have thought that the batch system should just be able start your jobs when resources become available. Why do you need to check the status of jobs? I would tend to think that it is not something users should be doing. "workflow management system" generally means some other piece of software that submits jobs as needed to complete some task. It might need to know how current jobs are doing (running yet, completed, etc) to decide what to submit next. I assume that's the use case here.
