qstat and long job names
This on is a bit messy, but it works as a simple solution to have in the command history. All standard tools. Output is pretty much the same as what you get from a normal qstat call, but you won't get the headers:
One-liner:
qstat -xml | tr '\n' ' ' | sed 's#<job_list[^>]*>#\n#g' \
| sed 's#<[^>]*>##g' | grep " " | column -t
Description of commands:
List jobs as XML:
qstat -xml
Remove all newlines:
tr '\n' ' '
Add newline before each job entry in the list:
sed 's#<job_list[^>]*>#\n#g'
Remove all XML stuff:
sed 's#<[^>]*>##g'
Hack to add newline at the end:
grep " "
Columnize:
column -t

Maybe an easier solution: set SGE_LONG_JOB_NAMES to -1, and qstat will figure out the size of the name column:
export SGE_LONG_JOB_NAMES=-1
qstat -u username
Works for me.
Cheers!
I am currently writing my own qstat wrapper in order to get a clean, useful and customizable output.
Here is the github repository. The project has grown too much for the code to be pasted in this message.
It comes with an installer and should work without any problem with both Python 2.7 and 3 (the installation script makes the modifications if needed). qjobs -h provides some help on the available options. I will write a more complete documentation in the following days on the github wiki.
I will update this message as often as possible to stick to the current state of the project. Please feel free to comment here (or on github) to ask for features/report problems.
In the near future, I will try to add a fully interactive mode to browse the job list more easily. Of course, the classic text output will be still available (it could be useful to e-mail the output, or for a quick check of the pending/running jobs).
Example output
Command qjobs gives:
5599109 short_name r 2015-06-25 10:27:39 queue1
5599110 jobName r 2015-06-25 10:35:39 queue2
5599111 a_long_job_name qw 2015-06-25 10:40:39
5599112 foo qw 2015-06-25 10:40:39
5599113 bar qw 2015-06-25 10:40:39
5599114 baz qw 2015-06-25 10:40:39
5599115 beer qw 2015-06-25 10:40:39
tot: 7
r: 2 qw: 5
Command qjobs -o gives:
tot: 7
r: 2 qw: 5
Command qjobs -o inek -t gives (e is elapsed time since start/sub time, the format is customizable using the Format Spec. Mini-Language of Python; k is complete queue name, with domain):

qjobs -i gives a complete list of the available 'items'. Each of this item is available as:
- a column output (with
-o ITEMS); - as a criteria to count the job and produces total output, with
-t(e.g.-t sto count by state as in the two first examples); - as a criteria to sort the job with
-s, default is-s ipsmeaning that the job list is sorted by ID, then by priority and finally by state before being printed.
The result of qjobs -i is:
i: job id
p: job priority
n: job name
o: job owner
s: job state
t: job start/submission time
e: elapsed time since start/submission
q: queue name without domain
d: queue domain
k: queue name with domain
r: requested queue(s)
l: number of slots used
This script works pretty well. It looks like it is from cambridge. http://www.hep.ph.ic.ac.uk/~dbauer/grid/myqstat.py
