Alternate Formatting of squeue
We now have a new command, fqueue, that allows you to run squeue with different format featuring a larger space for Partition and Name, allowing easier identification of the queue and the job. However, as you will see below, the fields on time has been cut so that the seconds are no longer seen after a job has been running for more than a day.
The current output of squeue:
JOBID PARTITION NAME USER ST TIME NODES NODELIST(REASON)

To run fqueue, first confirm that you loaded the slurm module:
module load slurm
Then run,
fqueue
with any other flags you would normally use with squeue, such as -u or --job.
If none of these formats are to your liking, you can always adjust the output of squeue by using --format flag.
For example, the fqueue command currently formats the output by specifying:
--format="%14i %19P %14j %8u %2t %7M %5D %R" "$@"
More information can be found on the official documentation or man page for squeue as always.
