You can slso filter by job id, using the -j flag.

$ squeue -j 1127

it is possible to provide multiple job id's separated by comma.

format the command output

The user may provide the output fields with format option "-O", for example showing the number of requested cpus:

$ squeue -o "%.7i %.9P %.8j %.8u %.2t %.10M %.6D %C %N" -u jmartins
JOBID PARTITION     NAME     USER ST       TIME  NODES CPUS NODELIST
192427    debug   cpi.sh jmartins  R       0:06      1   64 hpc047

gqueue alias

The user interfaces have an alias for the squeue comand called gqueue with some useful fields

$ gqueue
JOBID  PARTITION NAME    USER    ST TIME     NODES CPUS TRES_PER_NODE  NODELIST
184472 gpu       gpu-job gpuuser R  18:34:54 1     1    gpu            hpc058
