How to find from where a job is submitted in SLURM?

You can use the scontrol command to see the job details. $ scontrol show job <jobid>

For example, for a running job on our SLURM cluster:

$ scontrol show job 1665191
    JobId=1665191 Name=tasktest
    ...
    Shared=OK Contiguous=0 Licenses=(null) Network=(null)
    Command=/lustre/work/.../slurm_test/task.submit
    WorkDir=/lustre/work/.../slurm_test

You are looking for the last line, WorkDir.

The latest version of Slurm now offers that information through squeue with :

squeue --format "%Z"

that displays, according to the man page,

%Z    The job’s working directory.

In order to list the work directory of past jobs that are no longer accessible via squeue or scontrol, you can use sacct:

sacct -S 2020-08-10 -u myUserName --format "jobid,jobname%20,workdir%70"

Lists job id, job name and work directory of all jobs of user myUserName since August 10th, 2020.
