Hmmm It's already yes... I assume it's not case-sensitive...

Yup - I checked for backfill yesterday. It's backfill.

You can use squeue to see the priority of jobs. I believe it normally
shows jobs in order of priority, even though does not display priority. If
you want to see actual priority, you need to request it in the format
field. I typically use
squeue -o "%.18i %.12a %.6P %.8u %.2t %.8m %.4D %.4C %12l

Hi Edward,
The squeue command tells you about job status. You can get extra
information using format options (see the squeue man-page). I like to
set this environment variable for squeue:
export SQUEUE_FORMAT="%.18i %.9P %.6q %.8j %.8u %.8a %.10T %.9Q %.10M
%.10V %.9l %.6D %.6C %m %R"

I have a cluster, where I submit a bunch (600) jobs, but the cluster only runs
about 20 at a time. By using pestat, I can see there are a bunch of systems
with plenty of available cpu and memory.
