bash-4.2$ sbatch test_slurm.sh
Submitted batch job 8501

To retrieve the information about the submitted jobs you can use the command "squeue":

bash-4.2$ squeue
             JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES NODELIST(REASON)
              8501 slurmHPC_ test_sl apascoli  R       0:01      1 hpc-200-06-05

The table shows 8 columns: JOBID, PARTITION, NAME, USER, ST, TIME, NODES and NODELIST(REASON).

1. JOBID shows the id corresponding to the submitted jobs.
2. PARTITION which in slurm is a synonym of "queue" indicates to which partition the node belongs. 
3. NAME it corresponds to the name assigned in the submit file, otherwise it will match the name of the submit file.
4. USER indicates the user who submitted the job.
5. ST indicates if the jobs  are running ("R") or if it is pending ("PD").
6. TIME shows how long the jobs have run for using the format days-hours:minutes:seconds.
7. NODES indicates the number of machines running the job.
8. NODELIST indicates where the job is running or the reason it is still pending.

Then, to see information about a single job use:

bash-4.2$ sstat --format=JobID,AveCPU -j 8501
JobID            AveCPU 
------------ ---------- 
8501.0       213503982+ 

The option --format allows to customise the output based on the desired features.

For instance in the example above are shown:

1. JobID
2. AveCPU Average (system + user) CPU time of all tasks in job.

Many more features are listed in the slum manual. [31]

The output, from the option --output=tasks1.txt, should be something like (hostnames and formatting may change):
