Checking Job Status

# List your running jobs
squeue -u $USER

# Detailed job info
scontrol show job <job_id>

# Cancel a job
scancel <job_id>

Log Directory

After submission, srtctl tells you where logs are stored:

Submitted batch job 4459
Logs: logs/4459_4P_1D_20251122_041341/

The directory name follows the pattern: {job_id}_{prefill}P_{decode}D_{timestamp}
