+**SLURM tips**
+---
+
+To gather information of your runs in SLURM you can run the following command to store job statistics in a output file: 
+
+```
+sacct --starttime <for-the-last-x-hours> -u <username> --format=User,JobID,Jobname,partition,state,time,start,end,elapsed,MaxRss,MaxVMSize,nnodes,ncpus,nodelist >> path_to_log_output/job_stats.out
+```
+
+The `starttime` should be in the following format: `2020-07-01T13:00:00`.
+
+It is also possible to gather job statistics for specific job id's:
+
+```
+sacct -j <JOB_ID> --format=User,JobID,Jobname,partition,state,time,start,end,elapsed,MaxRss,MaxVMSize,nnodes,ncpus,nodelist >> path_to_log_output/job_stats.out
+```
