Get Detailed Information about a Job

The command nc getfield also gives information about a job, but in an undecorated form that is in scripts.

nc: Usage Message

NC GETFIELD:
    Get one or all fields of one or more NC jobs.  Specify the jobID
    or use '!' for the most recent job in the current working directory.

    If the -J jobName option is given, only the first match
    is reported.  If there is no match, an error is reported.

OPTIONS:
    -h           Show this help. You can also get the
                 usage message by specifying no option at all.
    -v           Increase verbosity.
    -J JOBNAME   Find first job with given JOBNAME
                 The search is restricted to the jobs that
                 belong to the current user.
                 This is significantly more expensive than
                 using jobIds.  Use sparingly.
    -f field     Specify field when giving multiple jobIDs
    -showid      Show jobId
    -s           Same as -showid
    -sep STRING  Use STRING as separator (default is a single space)
    -tab         Use a TAB character as separator.

EXAMPLES:
    % nc getfield -h
    % nc getfield 01234455
    % nc getfield 00123445 jobclass
    % nc getfield ! status
    % nc getfield -J JOBNAME
    % nc getfield 01234455 0123458 -f jobclass
    % nc getfield -s 01234455 0123458 -f jobclass
