This section summarizes how to submit and run a job.
The command wx displays information about a job.
In Accelerator Plus, each job goes through a number of states until completion.
When a job is running through a vovtasker, the tasker automatically monitors RAM and CPU utilization of the job, including all of its children.
When job profiling is activated, Accelerator Plus tracks and plots performance statistics over the time the job is running.
To show the status of jobs recently submitted, use wx list.
The command wx summary is used to show a short summary of jobs in the system.
Job execution can be monitored with wx gui.
All icons provide descriptions that you can find by hovering over the icon.

Accelerator Plus provides several commands of job controls, including wait, stop, cleaning and debugging.
