Forcing removal of a job from LSF
Run bkill -r to force the removal of the job from LSF. Use this option when a job
cannot be killed in the operating system.
The
bkill -r command removes a job from the LSF system without waiting for the
job to terminate in the operating system. This sends the same series of signals as
bkill
without -
r, except that the job is removed from the system immediately, the job is
marked as EXIT, and job resources that LSF monitors are released as soon as LSF
receives the first signal.
