How to get job working dir in sun grid engine?

Question

Suppose we submit jobs by qsub under the path /path/to/working/dir, after jobs pending, we can get some information of jobs with qstat, but no working dir information is supplied by qstat.

How can we get this?

Answer 1

If you run a qstat -j jobId you will get output that has a field "sge_o_workdir:" that should have the info you need. For example if your jobID is 1234 your command would look like the below.

qstat -j 1234

and the output would look like the below.
