3 is the "major" id that is shared by all sessions in a job on all nodes. the 1 is the first session within the job.

So if you disconnect and want to connect later to all session/ processes for the job, you specify xrx -J 3 and xrx will try to figure out which sessions belong to that job. IIRC the job id (as specified by -j) can be anything, the part after '/' is always a number from 1 to n.

I am a little confused over the naming convention for job ids.

$ xrx -j 3 blender yes

$ sudo xps blender | grep yes | grep -v grep
blender 14300   pts/0   S+      0:03            ./utils/xrx -j 3 blender yes
blender 14301   pts/7   S       0:00    3/1     yes
blender 14302   pts/0   S+      0:00            ./utils/xrx -j 3 blender yes


Shouldn't it be /3?
