4.4. Check The Balance

You can examine the resulting balance (see Querying The Balance).

Example 4-6. Let's look at amy's balance

$ gbalance -u amy

Id Name                Amount   Reserved Balance  CreditLimit Available 
--- ---------------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ ---------------- ------------- 
1  biology             25000000        0 25000000           0  25000000 
2  chemistry on colony 50000000        0 50000000           0  50000000 
3  chemistry for amy    9000000        0  9000000     1000000  10000000 
        

We see that amy's total balance is composed of some 25000000 credits useable toward the biology project, 50000000 for chemistry on colony and another 10000000 which can be used for chemistry on any machine. Notice that the 10000000 credits available for use in account 3 is composed of a 9000000 balance plus an overdraft limit of 1000000 (meaning your account can go negative by that amount).

Example 4-7. Let's just get amy's balance for chemistry on colony.

$ gbalance -u amy -p chemistry -m colony —total

Balance  
-------- 
59000000
The account balance is 60000000 credits
        

Example 4-8. Now let's just get the total that can be used by amy for chemistry on colony. This includes amy's available credit.

$ gbalance -u amy -p chemistry -m colony —total —available

Balance  
-------- 
60000000 
The account balance is 60000000 credits
