There's a couple ways you can check.  One is using the command 'pbsnodes'.

  That will spew a bunch of info about each of the nodes including status.

 For a graphic version use the command xpbsmon ( remember to use -X with

ssh to display it back to your computer).

h3. kill a process

# Log into the machine it is running on

<pre>ssh fly</pre>

# Look for processes with your user name

<pre>ps -ef |grep [your_username]</pre>

# Kill the process using the number in the first column after your username

<pre>kill [process id]</pre>

# If the process was a copy, remove the destination folder

<pre>rm [destination folder]</pre>

# list system stats

<pre>top</pre>
