NAME

       qacct - report and account for Grid Engine usage

SYNOPSIS

       qacct  [-ar  [ar_id]]  [-A  Account]  [-b  BeginTime] [-d Days] [-e EndTime] [-g [GroupId|GroupName]] [-h
       [HostName]] [-help] [-j [job_id|job_name|pattern]] [-l attr=val,...]  [-m] [-o [Owner]] [-u [Owner]] [-pe
       [PEname]] [-q [wc_queue]] [-slots [SlotNumber]] [-t task_id_range_list] [-P [Project]] [-D  [Department]]
       [-f AcctFileName] [-E]

DESCRIPTION

       The  qacct  utility  scans  the  accounting  data  file  (see  accounting(5))  and  produces a summary of
       information for wall-clock time, CPU time, and system time for the categories of host name,  queue  name,
       group  name,  owner  name,  job  name,  job  ID,  and for the queues meeting the resource requirements as
       specified with the -l switch.  Combinations  of  each  category  are  permitted.  Alternatively,  all  or
       specific  jobs  can  be  listed  with  the  -j  switch.   For  example  the search criteria could include
       summarizing for a queue and an owner, but not for two queues in the same request.

       Note that results including parallel jobs depend on the  value  of  accounting_summary  in  the  parallel
       environment definition (see sge_pe(5)).  If it is false, there is an accounting record for slave tasks as
       well as master tasks so that, for example, there is a contribution to CPU time from each task.  Note that
       the slot count reported for each task is the total for the job, not that allocated to the slave.

OPTIONS

-ar [ar_id]
The ID of the advance reservation for which usage is summarized. If ar_id is not given,
accounting data are listed for each advance reservation separately.

-A Account
The account for jobs to be summarized.

-b BeginTime
The earliest start time for jobs to be summarized, in the format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]. See also
the -d option. If CC is not specified, a YY of <70 means 20YY. If the -E option is specified,
this specifies the earliest job end time instead.

-d Days
The number of days for which to summarize and print accounting information. If used together with
the -b BeginTime option (see above), jobs started (or, with the -E option, finished) within
BeginTime to BeginTime+Days are counted. If used together with -e EndTime (see below) option,
selection is from EndTime-Days. With neither, consider the last Days.

-e EndTime
The latest start time for jobs to be summarized, in the format [[CC]YY]MMDDhhmm[.SS]. See also
the -d option. If CC is not specified, a YY of <70 means 20YY. If the -E option is specified,
this specifies the latest job end time instead.

[-f AcctFileName]
The accounting file to be used. "-" means use standard input. If omitted, the system default
accounting file is processed.

-g [GroupId|GroupName]
The numeric system group id or the group alphanumeric name of the job owners to be included in the
accounting. If GroupId/GroupName is omitted, all groups are accounted.

-h [HostName]
The case-insensitive name of the host upon which accounting information is requested. If the name
is omitted, totals for each host are listed separately.

-help Display help information for the qacct command.

-j [job_id|job_name|pattern]
The name, an expression for matching names, or ID of the job during execution for which accounting
information is printed. If neither a name nor an ID is given, all jobs are listed.
This option changes the output format of qacct. If activated, CPU times are no longer accumulated
but "raw" per-job accounting information is printed in a formatted form instead. CPU time
(seconds), integrated memory usage (GB seconds), total i/o (bytes), i/o wait time (seconds), and
maximum virtual memory (bytes).

-l attr=val,...
A resource requirement specification which must be met by the queues in which the jobs being
accounted were executing. The resource request is very similar to the one described in qsub(1).

-m Ignore slave tasks of parallel jobs. Only relevant when when accounting_summary is false, and
probably only useful with -j to prune the output.

-o [Owner] | -u [Owner]
The name of the owner of the jobs for which accounting statistics are assembled. If the optional
Owner argument is omitted, a listing of the accounting statistics of all job owners present in the
accounting file is produced. -u and -o are synonyms.

-pe [PEname]
The name of the parallel environment for which usage is summarized. If PEname is not given,
accounting data are listed for each parallel environment separately.

-q [wc_queue_name]
An expression for queues for which usage is summarized. All queue instances matching the
expression will be listed. If no expression is specified, a cluster queue summary will be given.

-slots [SlotNumber]
The number of queue slots for which usage is summarized. If SlotNumber is not given, accounting
data are listed for each number of queue slots separately.

-t task_id_range_list
Only available together with the -j option described above.

The -t switch specifies the array job task range, for which accounting information should be
printed. Syntax and semantics of task_id_range_list are identical to that one described under the
-t option to qsub(1). Please see there also for further information on array jobs.

-P [Project]
The name of the project for which usage is summarized. If Project is not given, accounting data
are listed for each relevant project separately.

-D [Department]
The name of the department for which usage is summarized. If Department is not given, accounting
data are listed for each relevant department separately.

-E When selecting times with -b, -e, -d, use the job end time rather than the start time to select.
This may be useful because the accounting record is written at the job end.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       SGE_ROOT       Specifies the location of the Grid Engine standard configuration files.

       SGE_CELL       If  set,  specifies the default Grid Engine cell. To address a Grid Engine cell qacct uses
                      (in the order of precedence):

                             The name of the cell specified in the environment variable SGE_CELL, if it is set.

                             The name of the default cell, i.e. default.

       SGE_DEBUG_LEVEL
                      If set, specifies that debug information should be written  to  stderr.  In  addition  the
                      level of detail in which debug information is generated is defined.

       SGE_QMASTER_PORT
                      If  set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which  sge_qmaster(8)  is  expected to listen for
                      communication requests.  Most installations will use a services map entry for the  service
                      "sge_qmaster" instead to define that port.

       SGE_EXECD_PORT If  set,  specifies  the  tcp  port  on  which  sge_execd(8)  is  expected  to  listen for
                      communication requests.  Most installations will use a services map entry for the  service
                      "sge_execd" instead to define that port.
