Editing CrocoBLAST:UserManual (section)

== 1.3 Verifying the state of the queue ==

While CrocoBLAST operates with the concept of queue, it is important to note that only one job (the first on the queue) is active at any given time. You can check the current state of the CrocoBLAST queue using the command:

# <code>crocoblast -status</code>

This will provide you with information regarding which jobs are on queue, with full details regarding the job ID and BLAST setup, as well as a description about the progress of each job. The progress of each job is described in three main directions: fragmentation of the input file, alignment, and assembly of results. In case CrocoBLAST is running when the "status" command is submitted, the estimated time for finishing the first job on the queue is also informed.
