Automatic Remote Execution
Every time you enter a command, lstcsh looks in your task lists to determine whether
the command can be executed on a remote host and to find the configured resource
requirements for the command.
See the Platform LSF Reference for information about task lists and
lsf.task file.
If the command can be executed on a remote host,
lstcsh contacts LIM to find the
best available host.
The first time a command is run on a remote host, a server shell is started on that host.
The command is sent to the server shell, and the server shell starts the command on the
remote host. All commands sent to the same host use the same server shell, so the start-
up overhead is only incurred once.
If no host is found that meets the resource requirements of your command, the
command is run on the local host.
