On a SLURM cluster one can use squeue to get information about jobs on the system.
I know that "R" means running; and "PD" meaning pending, but what is "CG"?
I understand it to be "canceling" or "failing" from experience, but does "CG" apply when a job successfully closes? What is the G?
"CG" stands for "completing" and it happens to a job that cannot be terminated, probably because of an I/O operation.
More detailed info in the Slurm Troubleshooting Guide
I found this in the 'squeue' section of the Slurm Troubleshooting Guide:
state
Job state, extended form: PENDING, RUNNING, STOPPED, SUSPENDED, CANCELLED, COMPLETING, COMPLETED, CONFIGURING, FAILED, TIMEOUT, PREEMPTED, NODE_FAIL, REVOKED and SPECIAL_EXIT. See the JOB STATE CODES section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only)

Job state, compact form: PD (pending), R (running), CA (cancelled), CF(configuring), CG (completing), CD (completed), F (failed), TO (timeout), NF (node failure), RV (revoked) and SE (special exit state). See the JOB STATE CODES section below for more information. (Valid for jobs only)
