Dear Diego,
A while back, I attempted to make some edits locally to see whether I could
produce "better" results. Here is a comparison of the output of your latest
version, and then mine:
[root@hpc bin]# seff 24567
Use of uninitialized value $hash{"2"} in division (/) at /bin/seff line
108, <DATA> line 602.
Use of uninitialized value $hash{"2"} in division (/) at /bin/seff line
108, <DATA> line 602.
Job ID: 24567
Cluster: hpc
User/Group: chuat/users
State: COMPLETED (exit code 0)
Nodes: 1
Cores per node: 4
CPU Utilized: 00:00:00
CPU Efficiency: 0.00% of 00:00:40 core-walltime
Memory Utilized: 1.24 MB (estimated maximum)
Memory Efficiency: 0.06% of 2.00 GB (2.00 GB/node)
[root@hpc bin]# seff.bak 24567
Job ID: 24567
Cluster: hpc
User/Group: chuat/users
State: COMPLETED (exit code 0)
Nodes: 1
Cores per node: 4
CPU Utilized: 00:00:20
CPU Efficiency: 50.00% of 00:00:40 core-walltime
Job Wall-clock time: 00:00:10
Memory Utilized: 1.24 MB
Memory Efficiency: 0.06% of 2.00 GB
Yours doesn't seem to report anything for CPU Utilized or CPU Efficiency.
At the same time, however, the changes I made to my code to produce those
results may not even be "correct." Moreover, my version may or may not work
for multi-node jobs; I have no way to test those, since at the moment no
user is running them.
For what it's worth, here is a diff of your script vs. mine, in case that's
helpful. That said, while I used to code Perl scripts all the time, I
haven't in, oh, about 20 years, so again, my edits could be entirely the
wrong approach:

Warmest regards,
