The main documentation source for all the Sun Grid Engine system are the manual pages you can access through the command line (e.g. man qstat). A quick view of the main options of each command can be viewed by issuing the command with the '-help' switch.qstatshow jobs and queues statusPARAMETERMEANING<no parameters>show queued jobs-fshow all queues-j [JOBID]detailed job status [of the JOBID job]Example:$ qstat

Queues, Jobs, SlotsUser initiated requests (Jobs) are managed by the SGE system and queued. Normally every job consumes a slot (ideally one slot = one CPU), unless more slots are requested using a parallel environment (see the SGE Queuing Sytem documentation below).To recap, normally:1 Job == 1 slot == 1 queue instance consuming 1 CPUIf N processors are needed, you can request N slots using the parallel environment.
