DESCRIPTION

  Job state
The following table lists the job states shown by and returned by The DRMAA state corresponds to the DRMAA_PS_state value that may be returned by

Category | State | SGE | DRMAA state
Pending | pending | qw, Rq | QUEUED_ACTIVE
 | pending, user hold | hqw | USER_ON_HOLD
 | pending, system hold | hqw | SYSTEM_ON_HOLD
 | pending, user and system hold | hqw | USER_SYSTEM_ON_HOLD
 | pending, user hold, re-queue | hRwq | USER_ON_HOLD
 | pending, system hold, re-queue | hRwq | SYSTEM_ON_HOLD
 | pending, user and system hold, re-queue | hRwq | USER_SYSTEM_ON_HOLD
Running / transferring | running, transferring | r, hr, t | RUNNING
 | running, re-run / transferring | Rr, Rt | RUNNING
Suspended | job suspended | s, ts | USER_SUSPENDED
 | queue suspended | S, tS | SYSTEM_SUSPENDED
 | queue suspended by alarm | T, tT | SYSTEM_SUSPENDED
 | all suspended with re-run | Rs, Rts, RS, RtS, RT, RtT | SYSTEM_SUSPENDED
Error | all pending states with error | Eqw, Ehqw, EhRqw | FAILED
Deleting | all running and suspended states with deletion | dr, dt, dRr, dRt, ds, dS, dT, dRs, dRS, dRT | same as equivalent DRMAA states without the "d"
Finished | job finished normally | z | DONE
Unkown | status cannot be determined |  | UNDETERMINED

  Failed
The following table lists the "failed" values reported by (see their description, also reported by qacct, whether the resource usage accounting data are valid for the job ("OK"), and an explanation. The host's messages file or the shepherd trace file (preserved with execd_params KEEP_ACTIVE in may provide more information about errors.
Code | Description | OK | Explanation
0 | no failure | Y | ran and exited normally
1 | assumedly before job | N | failed early in execd
3 | before writing config | N | failed before execd set up local spool
4 | before writing PID | N | shepherd failed to record its pid - filesystem problem?
6 | setting processor set | N | failed setting up processor set (obsolete)
7 | before prolog | N | failed before prolog
8 | in prolog | N | failed in prolog
9 | before pestart | N | failed before starting PE
10 | in pestart | N | failed in PE starter
11 | before job | N | failed in shepherd before starting job
12 | before pestop | Y | ran, but failed before calling PE stop procedure
13 | in pestop | Y | ran, but PE stop procedure failed
14 | before epilog | Y | ran, but failed before calling epilog
15 | in epilog | Y | ran, but failed in epilog
16 | releasing processor set | Y | ran, but processor set could not be released (obsolete)
17 | through signal | Y | job killed by signal (possibly qdel)
18 | shepherd returned error | N | shepherd died somehow
19 | before writing exit_status | N | shepherd didn't write reports correctly - probably program or machine crash
20 | found unexpected error file | ? | shepherd encountered a problem
21 | in recognizing job | N | qmaster asked about an unknown job (not in accounting?)
24 | migrating (checkpointing jobs) | Y | ran, will be migrated
25 | rescheduling | Y | ran, will be rescheduled
26 | opening output file | N | failed opening stderr/stdout file
27 | searching requested shell | N | failed finding specified shell
28 | changing to working directory | N | failed changing to start directory
29 | AFS setup | N | failed setting up AFS security
30 | application error returned | Y | ran and exited 100 - maybe re-scheduled
31 | accessing sgepasswd file | N | failed because sgepasswd not readable (MS Windows)
32 | entry is missing in password file | N | failed because user not in sgepasswd (MS Windows)
33 | wrong password | N | failed because of wrong password against sgepasswd (MS Windows)
34 | communicating with Grid Engine Helper Service | N | failed because of failure of helper service (MS Windows)
35 | before job in Grid Engine Helper Service | N | failed because of failure running helper service (MS Windows)
36 | checking configured daemons | N | failed because of configured remote startup daemon
37 | qmaster enforced h_rt, h_cpu, or h_vmem limit | Y | ran, but killed due to exceeding run time limit
38 | adding supplementary group | N | failed adding supplementary gid to job
100 | assumedly after job | Y | ran, but killed by a signal (perhaps due to exceeding resources), task died, shepherd died (e.g. node crash), etc.

See for the effect of non-zero return codes from the various methods (prolog etc.) executed by the shepherd.
