  • Interface 1: pbsnodes -l output with no restrictions on host name length.

  • Visibility: Public
  • Change Control: Stable
  • Details: Currently pbsnodes -l would return all the offline hostnames trimmed to 20 characters.
  • With this fix we will not have restrictions to length of the hostnames and we will format the output of hostnames in such a way that hostnames with length less than 20 bytes
    will be padded with space for 20 bytes. For hostnames more than 20 bytes we will print the entire hostname.
  • With pbs having a list of offline nodes as follows


  • 12345678901234567890
  • 1234567890123456789012
  • 123456789012345


Before fix the pbsnodes -l output will be as follows:

12345678901234567890    state-unknown,down

12345678901234567890    state-unknown,down

123456789012345              state-unknown,down


After fix the pbsnodes -l output shoul look like below:

12345678901234567890  state-unknown,down

1234567890123456789012 state-unknown,down

123456789012345            state-unknown,down
