How to determine the running time and if the jobs are going on correctly？

[Windyxia11]

My whole genome alignment jobs have run over two weeks, But it doesn't have any output and error file. How can I determine whether the jobs are working on correctly?

Your best bet is top to see which processes are running. Otherwise the log/stdout should indicate which commands are being run. If you are on a cluster then you should be able to use squeue to see which jobs are running.
