LACT Command

The LACT command provides general status information about jobs in the active queue. Parameters allow you to indicate which job or group of jobs is desired, what information is to be reviewed, and the sequence of displayed data. The active queue only contains information about jobs that have started executing. Other commands are also available to display other types of data for CPU jobs that reside in the active queue.

This command has the following format:
