Local and Remote Modes
lstcsh has two modes of operation:
◆ Local
◆ Remote
Local mode
The local mode is the default mode. In local mode, a command line is eligible for remote
execution only if all of the commands on the line are present in the remote task list, or
if the
@ character is specified on the command-line to force it to be eligible.
See “@ character” on page 632 for more details.
Local mode is conservative and can fail to take advantage of the performance benefits
and load-balancing advantages of LSF.
Remote mode
In remote mode, a command line is considered eligible for remote execution if none of
the commands on the line is in the local task list.
Remote mode is aggressive and makes more extensive use of LSF. However, remote
mode can cause inconvenience when
lstcsh attempts to send host-specific commands
to other hosts.
