1. Make a file to house the program. Put it somewhere convenient, like in your home directory, or in a directory of common scripts in your home directory. One way to make a file is nano yourfilename.sh

2. Open the file with nano or another editor and paste the following into it:

   Code Block
   language bash
   #!/bin/bash declare -a jobs=() if [ -z "$1" ] ; then echo "Minimum Job Number argument is required. Run as '$0 jobnum'" exit 1 fi minjobnum="$1" myself="$(id -u -n)" for j in $(squeue --user="$myself" --noheader --format=%i) ; do if [ "$j" -gt "$minjobnum" ] ; then jobs+=($j) fi done scancel "${jobs[@]}"

3. Make the file executable: chmod u+x yourfilename.sh

4. Usage is: yourfilename.sh 300000 where 300000 is the base job id number used to delimit where wanted jobs stop. In other words, any of your jobs with an ID smaller than this number will be retained, but jobs with IDs larger than this number will be removed. This will not mess with anybody else's jobs. Alternatively, if the current directory is not in your PATH, use: bash yourfilename.sh 300000
