About user-specified job requeue
You can use brequeue to kill a job and requeue it. When the job is requeued, it is
assigned the PEND status and the job’s new position in the queue is after other jobs of
the same priority.

To requeue one job, use brequeue.

You can only use brequeue on running (RUN), user-suspended (USUSP), or
system-suspended (SSUSP) jobs.

Users can only requeue their own jobs. Only root and LSF administrator can
requeue jobs submitted by other users.

You cannot use brequeue on interactive batch jobs
