If you use Nextflow on a cluster with the SLURM scheduler, then these bash functions may be useful to you and worth sticking in your .bashrc.

# Shortcut for going to work directories
# Usage: gw <workdir pattern>
# Replace the work directory below as needed
# Where workdir pattern is something like "ab/afedeu"
function gw {
        path=`ls --color=none -d /path/to/work/directory/$1*`
        cd $path
}

# sq squeue alternative
# Outputs more complete information about jobs including the work directory
function sq() {
    squeue --user `whoami` --format='%.18i %50j %10u %.10C %m %20J %M %.2t %n %R %Z' | awk -v OFS='\t' '{ match($10, /([a-f0-9]{2}\/[a-f0-9]{6})/, arr); print $1, $2, $3, $4, $5, $6, $7, $8, $9, arr[1] }' 
}

Now, typing sq will give:

JOBID NAME USER CPUS MIN_MEMORY THREADS_PER_CORE TIME ST REQ_NODES
17475076 nf-fastq cookd 8 12G * 0:00 PD (Priority) 04/fbbe3e
17475077 nf-fastq cookd 8 12G * 0:00 PD (Priority) c9/9176eb
17475078 nf-fastq cookd 8 12G * 0:00 PD (Priority) 80/6a233a

And you can type gw c9/9176eb which will take you to the work directory for that job.
