Hi, The FATSQC job has been waiting to run for a while and I am not sure why. I have added the link to my history below. [url: https://usegalaxy.org/u/nourmahfel/h/chip-seqfinal](https://usegalaxy.org/u/nourmahfel/h/chip-seqfinal) ---

Same thing is happening for me, maybe it is something on their end. ---

Same for me, I have 4 workflows in queue that seem to be stalled. Started them yesterday. Is there any way of knowing if galaxy offline? (Sorry, haven’t had this issue before.) ---

Same for me, both FastQC and bowtie2. Nothing has run for hours ---

I am experiencing the same problem. Jobs are queued up for almost 24 hours waiting to be submitted. ---

- [My jobs aren’t Running!](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/#my-jobs-arent-running) - [Understanding job states](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/#understanding-job-statuses) - [Will my jobs keep running?](https://training.galaxyproject.org/training-material/faqs/galaxy/#will-my-jobs-keep-running) * * * **The most effective strategy is to queue up analysis jobs, then to let them complete.** - Public servers are shared resources. Jobs will run when resources become available. - Queue and execution time depends on the tool and how busy the server is. - Please avoid deleting and rerunning jobs in hopes that they will run quicker. It has the opposite result: the new job is added back at the end of the queue extending wait time. - A wait of a few hours to a few days can be normal for computationally expensive tools. - 🚀 Tool forms and workflows include options to send yourself notifications by email. * * * **Dataset Collections and Workflows are worth learning about.** - Most [Galaxy Training Network](https://training.galaxyproject.org/) (GTN) tutorials include at least one associated Workflow to get your started. - Not sure how to use, create, import, or customize Collections and Workflows? ---
