 ## Why Is My Job Not Running Yet?
 
-You can use the `squeue -j <jobid>` command to see the status and the reason why your job is not running. There are a number of possible reasons why your job could have a long queue time or could be prevented from ever running. The queue time could be impacted by the job's priority (see priority factors), the availability of high-demand or scare resources, or dependency constraints. It is also possible that your job is asking for more resources than exists or has been allotted, in which case it will never even start.
+**Note**: The hyperlinks point to the official [SchedMD documentation](https://slurm.schedmd.com/documentation.html) for a more comprehensive read for interested readers.
 
-To help identity issues with your job or strategize your job submissions to optimize them for faster execution, you should understand how the scheduler works and the factors that are at play. Key scheduling concepts to understand include **job priority**, priority factors such as **fairshare** and **QOS**, and **backfilling**. More advanced concepts include **reservations**, **oversubscription**, **preemption**, and **gang scheduling**.

 ### Resource Availability
 
-The required resources may not be available at the moment. Jobs might have to wait longer for sufficient resources to free up. Resources are allocated to accounts through the fairshare mechanism. I.e., accounts have a number of shares that determine their entitled resources. The number of resources that a given job may consume is also constrained by the job's QOS policy.

 Technical explanation:
 
-The fair-share mechanism used to ensure fair usage between accounts does not actually limit the amount of resources that can be requested or consumed. It only adjusts each job's scheduling priority based on resource usage history and the account's fair-share entitlement. Resource limits may be imposed on an account, user, partition, or job by association or QOS policy though. These usage limits will be reevaluated periodically and may be adjusted based on legitimate need or usage patterns.
