Question Job Status for running shell script

Hello,

I am running a shell script whose execution often takes several hours to complete. Is there way I can get some kind of status update as the job is running? Something as simple as the start and the current time stamp.

Thanks,
Gussi

Bug A strange approach...

Add a line of code to the beginning of your shell script, something like:
Code:
touch ~\my_script_is_running.txt

and at end
Code:
rm ~\my_script_is_running.txt

That way, if you see the file you will know your script is running and when it started.

Hi JoeyG,

Thanks for your suggestion. Since my jobs are submitted to a farm, I do get an update as to when it started and what is the completion time + memory usage and so on.

Thx,
Guss
