## Monitor your jobs

In HTCondor, you can use

```sh
condor_q
```

to see the status of your job.

You can also watch them, like so

```sh
watch -n 15 condor_q
```

where 15 is the number of seconds you want the command to be repeated, i.e. you are monitoring the status once every 15s.

There is also a command from HTCondor which do the watching automatically:

```sh
condor_watch_q
```

Both approach has their pros and cons and you are welcome to try which one suits your purpose better.

## Killing your jobs

After you submitted a job, you obtained a job id.
You can also retrieve this job id from the `condor_q` command above.
You can kill this job by using,

```sh
condor_rm $ID
# such as...
condor_rm 1983
```

Or you can also kill all jobs that is still in the queue created by you:

```sh
condor_rm $USER
```

:::{warning}
This is destructive!
All your submitted jobs will disappear and there's no way to bring them back except by resubmitting all of them again.
