[slurm-users] Make sacct show short job state codes?

[Brian Andrus]

I don't think that is part of sacct options. Feature request maybe.

Meanwhile, awk would be your friend here. Just post-process by piping 
the output to awk and doing the substitutions before printing the output.

eg:

     sacct  |awk '{sub("CANCELLED","CA");sub("RUNNING","RU");print}'

Just add a 'sub' command for each substitution. It is tedious to setup 
but will do the trick. You can also specify the specific field to do any 
substitution on.

Shaving down the columns using %N in –format just results in a truncated version of the long code, which is often not the same thing.
