bash: how to display the first 10 lines using qstat?

Question

In bash, typing qstat will show all the job status.

4426868 0.00000 md_0_1     username      hqw   12/31/2017 11:45:25                                   12
4426869 0.00000 md_0_1     username      hqw   12/31/2017 11:45:25                                   12
4426870 0.00000 md_0_1     username      hqw   12/31/2017 11:45:25                                   12

......

As I have hundreds of jobs, can I only show the first 10 jobs?

Though I don't have qstat command in my system so couldn't test. Try following and let me know if this helps you.

@lanselibai, it worked for me on a test file, are you sure you not having empty lines or so in your output? – RavinderSingh13 Jan 01 '18 at 12:04
no worries, there is always 2 difference, I just need to use 12 to show the 10 lines – lanselibai Jan 01 '18 at 12:06
