[slurm-users] Two lines are printed by sacct

[Mahmood Naderan]

Excuse me, I see three lines also!

[root at rocks7 ~]# sacct --format=user,cputime,elapsed
     User    CPUTime    Elapsed
--------- ---------- ----------

            09:42:56   00:18:13
            00:18:12   00:18:12
  mahmood 1-00:36:16   00:11:32
            06:09:04   00:11:32
            00:34:36   00:11:32

What are those? What should I mention in the format option to see the
proper information about three lines of a jobs?


Regards,
Mahmood
