Is there a way to get the last x SLURM job ids of (finished) jobs for a certain user (me)?

Or maybe all job IDs run the x-hours?

(My use case is, that I want to get some metrics via a sacctbut idealy don't want to parse them from outputfiles etc.)

For the next time it's maybe adviseable to plan this in advance, like here…

To strictly answer the question, you can use sacct like this:

sacct -X --start now-3hours -o jobid

This will list the jobs of the jobs that started within the past 3 hours.

But then, if what you want is to feed those job IDs to sacct to get metrics, you can directly add the metrics to the -o option, or remove that -o option altogether.

Also, the -X is there to have one line per job, but memory-related metrics are stored per job step, so you might want to remove it at some point to get one line per job step instead..
