Cancelling Jobs

Users can cancel their own jobs using the scancel command. This command allows you to terminate individual jobs or multiple jobs based on their status or ownership.

Examples:

scancel job_id 

Cancels the job with the specified job_id.

scancel -u username 

Cancels all jobs belonging to the specified user.

Note: Users can only cancel their own jobs.


scancel -t pending -u username 

Cancels all pending jobs for the given user.

scancel -t running -u username 

Cancels all running jobs for the given user.

Finding Job IDs

You can find your job IDs using:

squeue -u username 

or

valar-queue | grep username 

These commands list all active jobs associated with your username, allowing you to identify which jobs to cancel.
