Where does the content of the terminal (standard out and standard error) go for a scheduled job (non-interactive)?

After the job starts, two files are created in the directory you submitted the jobs form. Those files are named, STDIN.o<job-id> and STDIN.e<job-id>

  • The .e file will contain errors that the job generates (STD ERR).
  • The .o file contains that output of the job along with prologue and epilogue information (STD OUT).
  • STDIN is the name of the job since the qsub (mksub for DartFS) received the commands from STanDard INput.
  • The prologue shows requested resources and the epilogue shows received resources.
