Cancelling a running job by its name

If you need to cancel a running job, you typically use the scancel command followed by the job id:

     % squeue -u $USER

         JOBID PARTITION         NAME     USER    STATE       TIME TIME_LIMI  NODES NODELIST(REASON)
      14185711     workq     my_jobName  kortass  RUNNING      43:53   2:00:00      1 nid00312

Did you know that you can cancel it using its name instead of its id with the following scancel command option?

     % scancel --name my_jobName

This is also a convenient way to kill/cancel a set of jobs sharing the same name or to avoid canceling an unwanted job by choosing a wrong id after misreading the output of the squeue command.
