Hi there,
I was just debugging something else and realized that some fellows here may be interested in the following tool, to monitor (PBS) queuing systems: http://fotis.web.cern.ch/fotis/QTOP/ The original version is a single shell script prototyped around torque, while we have a wrapper-workaround for SGE systems lying somewhere around. Prepackaged versions for multiple linux distros can be found here: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show?package=qtop&project=home:georgatos A new version in Python as at the works during this period so, some more queuing systems and vis. modes will be supported; if interested drop a note. ps. In case you wonder why this fits here, it is because you can see in qtop's output the exact allocation of cores per node (look at columns); that in turn is very useful to debug other problems rel. cores scheduling. enjoy, Fotis -- echo "sysadmin know better bash than english" | sed s/min/mins/ \ | sed 's/better bash/bash better/' # Yelling in a CERN forum
