The job can be referred to either by the jobid that was returned by [**arcsub**(1)](/arcsub/1.md) at submission time or by its jobname if the job description that was submitted contained a jobname attribute. More than one jobid and/or jobname can be given. If several jobs were submitted with the same jobname the status of all those jobs are shown. If the **--joblist** option is used the list of jobs is read from a file with the specified filename. By specifying the **--all** option, the status of all active jobs will be shown. By default **arcstat** presents job states as defined internally followed by middleware specific representation of job state in brackets. The following internal job states are defined: **Accepted** - job accepted on cluster but not being processed yet **Preparing** - job is in phase of preparing for submission to batch system **Submitting** - communication with batch system in ongoing **Hold** - job's processing is suspended dueto internal reason or user request **Queuing** - job is passed to batch system but not being executed yet **Running** - job being execcuted in batch system **Finishing** - job in phase of post-execution procedures being run **Finished** - job successfully completed all processing phases **Killed** - job processing was interrupted by user request **Failed** - job processing was interrupted due to detected failure **Deleted** - job was removed from cluster (usually because it stayed there too long) **Other** - middleware specific job state could not be adequately mappped to internal state Those are also states which are used by [**arccat**(1)](/arccat/1.md), [**arcclean**(1)](/arcclean/1.md), [**arcget**(1)](/arcget/1.md), [**arckill**(1)](/arckill/1.md), [**arcrenew**(1)](/arcrenew/1.md), [**arcresume**(1)](/arcresume/1.md) to perform job filtering. If the **--long** option is given more detailed information is shown. Jobs can be sorted according to the jobid, submissiontime or jobname, either in normal or reverse order. By using the **--sort** or **--rsort** option followed by the desired ordering ('jobid', 'submissiontime' or 'jobname'), jobs will be sorted in normal or reverse order. Note that the options **--sort** and **--rsort** cannot be used at the same time. The **--computing-element** option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific clusters. The **--status** option can be used to select jobs in a specific state. These options can be repeated several times. See [**arcstat**(1)](/arcstat/1.md) for possible state values. Also in this case the **--long** option can be used to obtain more detailed information. ## FILES - **~/.arc/client.conf** Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC client configuration file. By using the **--conffile** option a different configuration file can be used than the default. - **~/.arc/jobs.dat** This a local database of the user's active jobs. When a job is successfully submitted it is added to database and when it is removed from the remote CE it is removed from this list. This database is used as the list of all active jobs when the user specifies the **--all** option to the various NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the **--joblist** option a different file can be used than the default. ## AUTHOR ARC software is developed by the NorduGrid Collaboration (http://www.nordugrid.org), please consult the AUTHORS file distributed with ARC.
