Forcing Job Execution
A pending job can be forced to run with the brun command. This operation can only
be performed by an LSF administrator.
You can force a job to run on a particular host, to run until completion, and other
restrictions. For more information, see the
brun command.
When a job is forced to run, any other constraints associated with the job such as
resource requirements or dependency conditions are ignored.
In this situation you may see some job slot limits, such as the maximum number of jobs
that can run on a host, being violated. A job that is forced to run cannot be preempted.
Forcing a pending job to run
Run brun -m hostname job_ID to force a pending job to run. You must specify
the host on which the job will run. For example, the following command will force the
sequential job 104 to run on
hostA:
%
brun -m hostA 104
