On a SLURM cluster one can use squeue to get information about jobs on the system.

I know that "R" means running; and "PD" meaning pending, but what is "CG"?

I understand it to be "canceling" or "failing" from experience, but does "CG" apply when a job successfully closes? What is the G?

"CG" stands for "completing" and it happens to a job that cannot be terminated, probably because of an I/O operation.
