# Command: job status

The `job status` command displays status information for a job.

## Usage

```
nomad job status [options] [job]
```

This command accepts an optional job ID or prefix as the sole argument. If there
is an exact match based on the provided job ID or prefix, then information about
the specific job is queried and displayed. Otherwise, a list of matching jobs and
information will be displayed.

If the ID is omitted, the command lists out all of the existing jobs and a few of
the most useful status fields for each. As of Nomad 0.7.1, alloc status also shows allocation
modification time in addition to create time. When the `-verbose` flag is not set, allocation
creation and modify times are shown in a shortened relative time format like `5m ago`.

## General Options

<%= partial "docs/commands/_general_options" %>

## Status Options

* `-all-allocs`: Display all allocations matching the job ID, even those from an
  older instance of the job.

* `-evals`: Display the evaluations associated with the job.

* `-short`: Display short output. Used only when a single node is being queried.
  Drops verbose node allocation data from the output.

* `-verbose`: Show full information. Allocation create and modify times are shown in `yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss` format.

progress evaluation denotes that Nomad is blocked waiting for resources to
become availables so that it can place the remaining allocations.
