Hi Hans-Rudolf,
Thanks a lot for your reply! No, I wasn't aware of the reporting tool; thanks a lot for telling me about it! I did find "reports_wsgi.ini.sample".
Actually, it isn't exactly what I want. I would like users to have an idea how long the queue is, but I don't think I'd like them to know who the other users are and what they are running. Perhaps because it's all work-related, maybe there is no harm, but I guess I need to think about it (and discuss with management).
I'll set it up and see if it fits our needs -- thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Ray
Are you running the reports tool?
https://wiki.galaxyproject.org/Admin/UsageReports
you can inform your user about this page, and then, they can check the "All unfinished jobs" page.
This is probably the easiest way - though you need to consider, that all users can see each other jobs (i.e the executed command line) on that extra web site
Regards, Hans-Rudolf

Dear all,
I know Galaxy is independent of the underlying queuing system but is it possible to display the status of the queue to users via the Galaxy interface?
I understand that the jobs are submitted under the name of the owner of the Galaxy process. And that there is a way to fix this [1], but I think I'm fine with leaving it as-is. I guess it would be nice if users can see how long the queue is.
The naive way that I'm thinking about is to have a cronjob that runs "squeue" (we are using SLURM) periodically. Its output is cleaned up by a script and a "static" HTML file is generated for Galaxy to display.
I don't know if there is a more sensible way that fits within the framework of Galaxy. Is this approach acceptable or is there a better / easier way that I've completely missed?
Thank you!
Ray
