bpstat  [options...] [nodes]

Nodes can be specified as a list, e.g. "7,8,11", a range, e.g. "10-16" or a combination. If no nodes are given, stauts of all nodes is queried - same as for bpstat  all. Note that the nodes are specified by numbers (as opposed to Clubmask/Maui naming which consists of a dot followed by the number, e.g. ".0").

The properites and ownere are displayed in the same format as file properties in ls. Normally, when no jobs are running, all the nodes should be up and owned by clubmask:

bash-2.05b$ bpstat    
Node(s)                        Status       Mode       User       Group
0-31                           up           ---x------ clubmask   users     
A user can only operate (call bpsh or bpcp) on nodes owned by that user. The ownership on a node is assigned to a user whose job(s) are currently running on that node (this includes interactive jobs, i.e. nodes allocated by cmgrab). For instance:
bash-2.05b$ cmgrab -p 20 -t 60 -n debugNIPS
Submitted jobID debugNIPS.0       ...wait until DB is updated
Waiting for the job to start ...
(Ctrl-C to quit waiting - the job will remain in queue
Job debugNIPS.0 is running
nodes written to debugNIPS.0.nodes
bash-2.05b$ bpstat
Node(s)                        Status       Mode       User       Group
0-1                            up           ---x------ gregory    user      
2-9                            up           ---x------ clubmask   users     
10-17                          up           ---x------ gregory    user      
18-31                          up           ---x------ clubmask   users     
bash-2.05b$ bpcp cpi 0:/scratch/gregory
bash-2.05b$ bpsh 0 ls -l /scratch/gregory
total 488
-rwxr-xr-x    1 gregory  11         495334 Jul 30 18:39 cpi
