play with bpdbjobs command with those two switches:
-jobid NUMBER_OF_JOB_YOU_WOULD_LIKE_TO_SEE_IN_DETAILS
-all_columns

Here is a command guide - select your OS of NBU server - to see the whole bpdbjobs functions:

Thanks - both are good options, but bpdbjobs gives *way too much* (even with most_columns used) and the trylogs files don't have entry timestamps.  Anyone else?

If you are using the java GUI, you could try executing this command:

/usr/openv/java/jnbSA -lc

This command writes to a log file every command that the GUI uses to operate.  Not every single command is logged, but it might be worth checking the log file when you click on "Detailed Status" to see what the GUI uses to retrieve that information.  I've not tried this to grab that particular command, but it has worked in the past in order for me to recreate some pretty complicated commands.

Let me kow if this does not help of if you need a very specific output.

Just checked this directory for some info, and it appears that these logs are kept as far back as the activity monitor keeps its jobs.  This makes sense, but I was wondering if someone could confirm this.

Right - when those logs get cleaned is up to your configuration.

Hey,
  I need the same - I need the information of the "Detailed Status" tab of Activity Monitor. How can I fetch it from another computer using the executables? bpdbjobs doesn't provide such information even with -all_columns option. I can't TS to this computer to see the /jobs/trylogs either.

TIA.

Ok, -all_columns works. The information though is in slightly different format.
