Small script to monitor qsub whilst waiting for jobs to finish

monitor_qsub.sh

# Start a monitor thread
(
    wc=0
    while true
    do
        sleep 5
        ## Attempt at being clever with qstat - but problem with
        ## normal "job x finished" output bumping the offset. Ideally
        ## I'd also capture those and use them as a refresh signal
        # if [[ $wc -gt 0 ]]; then
        #     printf "\u001b[${wc}A"
        #     # Print blank
        #     echo "$qso" | sed 's/./ /g'
        #     # Move up again
        #     printf "\u001b[${wc}A"
        # fi
        # qso="$(qstat)"
        # wc=$(echo "$qso" | wc -l)
        # echo "${qso}"
