Job Cancelling

Cancel a job and all its steps:

scancel 12345

For bulk cancellation, first inspect squeue -u "$USER". Choose the appropriate command:

# Cancel all your jobs in gh200.
scancel --user="$USER" --partition=gh200

# Cancel only your pending jobs in gh200.
scancel --user="$USER" --partition=gh200 --state=PENDING

To request termination of specific steps, use their actual step IDs:

scancel --signal=TERM 12345.1 12345.3

Signals target steps without cancelling the whole allocation; the application determines its response. Verify cancellation with squeue or sacct. See scancel.
