Run Windows
A run window specifies one or more time periods during which jobs dispatched from a
queue are allowed to run. When a run window closes, running jobs are suspended, and
pending jobs remain pending. The suspended jobs are resumed when the window opens
again. By default, run windows are not configured, queues are always Active and jobs
can run until completion.
To configure a run window:
1 Edit lsb.queues.
2 Create a RUN_WINDOW keyword for the queue and specify one or more time
windows. For example:
Begin Queue
QUEUE_NAME = queue1
PRIORITY = 45
RUN_WINDOW = 4:30-12:00
End Queue
3 Reconfigure the cluster using:
a lsadmin reconfig.
b badmin reconfig.
4 Run bqueues -l to display the run windows.
