===== Job Status Diagnostics =====


====A job submitted to the queue is not running====

Look at the job status with ''qstat''. The next to last line of the output is a comment describing the job status. Possible outputs include:

''qstat -f yourjobid''

===Job run at date at time on hostname===

Job is running OK 

===Not Running: No available resources on nodes===

Job requires more memory, cores, or nodes than currently available, or you have requested more resources than what is available. 

===Job held, too many failed attempts to run===

Delete and resubmit job.


===Not Running, Draining system to allow starving job to run===

Job will not run because the resources are reserved for other jobs. 


====Queued Jobs stuck in an error state (E)====

Try deleting the job with ''qdel''

''qdel -Wforce yourjobid''


====If all else fails====
