Python scripts to check CPU hours usage now fails

HPC Support HPC issues

I was tasked to check the credit usage of the HPC clusters for my group. For this I was using a script provided to me (i assume it originated from the HPC team) to compute used CPU hours and how many credits we have remaining:


#!/bin/bash

module load GCCcore/13.3.0 ClusterShell/1.9.3 tabulate2/1.10.0

# total credits

echo 'Total credits'

echo "==========================================================="

ug_getNodeCharacteristicsSummary.py --partitions private-teodoro-gpu private-teodoro-cpu --cluster baobab --summary

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

# used credits

echo 'Used credits'

echo "==========================================================="

ug_slurm_usage_per_user.py --group private_teodoro --start 2026-01-01 --report-type account

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo 'Total DRIM credits'

# total DRIM credits

echo "==========================================================="

ug_getNodeCharacteristicsSummary.py --partitions private-drim-gpu --cluster bamboo --summary

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

# used credits

echo "DRIM used credits"

echo "==========================================================="

ug_slurm_usage_per_user.py --group private_drim --start 2026-01-01 --report-type account

echo "-----------------------------------------------------------

It used to work fine, but I tried to run it this week to report it, but now it fails. Here is the output:

Total credits
===========================================================
/bin/env: ‘$UG_PYTHON’: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------
Used credits
===========================================================
/usr/bin/env: ‘$UG_PYTHON’: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------
Total DRIM credits
===========================================================
/bin/env: ‘$UG_PYTHON’: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------
DRIM used credits
===========================================================
/usr/bin/env: ‘$UG_PYTHON’: No such file or directory
-----------------------------------------------------------

I guess the python path is not in my ENV anymore, I tried to load other modules, but it was not successful. Did something change in those scrips ?

have a nice day !

Hello,

The scripts have been improved, and using module load is no longer required.

Could you please try removing that line? It should work without it.

Best regards,

Hi,

Thank for your reply. I tried to comment out the load module line or running the script directly, but it still fails. here is the command history:

(baobab)-[vincente@login1 ~]$ cat credits_check.sh 
#!/bin/bash

# module load GCCcore/13.3.0 ClusterShell/1.9.3 tabulate2/1.10.0

# total credits
echo 'Total credits'
echo "==========================================================="
ug_getNodeCharacteristicsSummary.py --partitions private-teodoro-gpu private-teodoro-cpu --cluster baobab --summary
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

# used credits
echo 'Used credits'
echo "==========================================================="
ug_slurm_usage_per_user.py --group private_teodoro --start 2026-01-01 --report-type account
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

echo 'Total DRIM credits'
# total DRIM credits
echo "==========================================================="
ug_getNodeCharacteristicsSummary.py --partitions private-drim-gpu --cluster bamboo --summary
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"

# used credits 
echo "DRIM used credits"
echo "==========================================================="
ug_slurm_usage_per_user.py --group private_drim --start 2026-01-01 --report-type account
echo "-----------------------------------------------------------"
(baobab)-[vincente@login1 ~]$ ./credits_check.sh

Have a nice afternoon !

Dear David,

You are right — you now need to use the wrapper without the .py extension.
Here is a working example:

(baobab)-[rossigng@login1 ~]$ ug_slurm_usage_per_user
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cluster/User/Account Utilization 2026-04-01T00:00:00 - 2026-04-17T09:59:59 (1418400 secs)

Usage reported in TRES Hours

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Cluster    Login     Proper Name     Account    TRES Name      Used
---------  --------  --------------  ---------  -----------  ------
