Display a history of jobs

Availability: This command is available to cluster and Vserver administrators at the admin privilege level.

Description

The job history show command displays a history of completed jobs with newer entries displayed first. You can specify optional parameters to select information about job history items that match only those parameters. For example, to display information about jobs that were completed on February 27 at noon, run the command with -endtime "02/27 12:00:00" .

Parameters

{ [-fields <fieldname>,…​]

If you specify the -fields <fieldname>, …​ parameter, the command output also includes the specified field or fields. You can use '-fields ?' to display the fields to specify.

| [-instance ] }

If you specify the -instance parameter, the command displays detailed information about all fields.

[-node {<nodename>|local}] - Node

[-record <Sequence Number>] - Record ID

Selects the completed jobs that match the record ID or range of record IDs you specify. Note that record IDs are unique for each node, not for the cluster as a whole. As a result, there can be two records with the same record ID within the cluster.

[-id <integer>] - Job ID

Selects the completed jobs that match this parameter value.
