LSF Job Termination Reason Logging
Administering Platform LSF

For instance, if your application had an explicit exit 129, you would see Exit code 129 in
your output. When you send a signal that terminates the job,
bhist reports either the
signal or the value of signal+128. If the return status is greater than 128 and the job was
terminated with a signal, then return_status-128=signal.
Example
For return status 133, the job was terminated with signal 5 (SIGTRAP on most systems,
133-128=5). For return status 139, the job was terminated with signal 11 (SIGSEGV on
most systems, 139-128=11), which would mean the application had a core dump. Note
that these terminate signals are operating-system dependent, so signal 5 may not be
SIGTRAP on and 11 may not be SIGSEGV on all UNIX systems.
