“E” job is in existing state doing the stage out (copying results from compute node to server node)
And how can I see state if a job is abnormal or fault when it’s running?
PBS Pro is like a postman it does not inspect your job or find out what is happening with respect to your job(application solving a problem). It waits for the exist status and based on that job has succeeded or failed. Either you have to tail the log files when it is running the job ( please check this No output and error file generated run time - #2 by adarsh )
qstat -fx | grep -i exit_status.
