Overview
Without wide option "-w" to qstat, it truncates the data in most of the columns in the output. Sometimes the output confuses users and admins. For example a job with 2000 cores is shown as 200 cores.
Unfortunately, "-w" option stopped working with the combination of "-r", "-t" and "-rwt". This is correct behavior as per documentation. However, it used to work in versions < 18.0
Design
Instead of only allowing -w to be used with any of "ansTf", allow it for any of qstat's alternate job status options. Also, allow it for the "normal" display.
The only new code that has to be written is for qstat -w, as that has not ever been allowed.
Keeping with the design of -w, the output of qstat -w will consist of the following:
| Column Name | Normal spacing | Wide spacing |
|---|---|---|
| Job id | 17 (or 22 if maxjobid > 10million) | 30 |
| Job name | 16 | 15 |
| Username | 16 | 15 |
| Queue | 16 | 15 |
The following is a comparison:
