Job elements

For each job the following is presented, from left to right:

Job icon

Job details toggle

Job name

Queue name

Run options

Status icon

The job icon tells you what kind of job it is: ADF, BAND, some other script that you can run, or something unknown. The icons also come in two main versions. Depending on the style, blue and gray, or blue dot and black cross. The 'blue' icons signal 'runnable' jobs, that is, jobs that contain a file with a .run extension. ADFjobs assumes that this is some kind of shell script, and that it can run this script (either on the local or on some remote machine). Gray jobs are not runnable, no .run file is present.

The job details toggle is a button that you can click to show or hide more details about the job: Job details, Local files and Remote files. Each of the three sections may be open or closed, you can again click on the corresponding triangle to toggle this state.

The job name is just the name of the group of files without the extension.

The queue name is the name of the queue that you have set for this particular job, if any. If you select a queue from the Queue menu, that will specify the queue name here. You can also edit this name, but only when you are changing the job details for this job.

The run options is a text field that you can use to specify some details to run a job. For example, a time limit or the number of CPUs to use. The meaning depends on the Run command specified with the Job Details.

The status icon tells you if the job is a new, queued, running, ready or terminated.
