LSB_NQS_PORT
This parameter can be defined in lsf.conf or in the services database such as
/etc/services.
See “lsf.conf” under “LSB_NQS_PORT” on page 528 for more details.
LSB_NTRIES
Syntax LSB_NTRIES=integer
Description
The number of times that LSF libraries attempt to contact mbatchd or perform a
concurrent jobs query.
For example, if this parameter is undefined, when you type
bjobs, LSF keeps displaying
"batch system not responding" if
mbatchd cannot be contacted or if the number of
pending jobs exceeds MAX_PEND_JOBS specified in
lsb.params or lsb.users.
If this parameter is set to a value, LSF only attempts to contact
mbatchd the defined
number of times and then quits. LSF will wait for a period of time equal to
SUB_TRY_INTERVAL specified in
lsb.params before attempting to contact
mbatchd again.
Valid values
Any positive integer
Default
INFINIT_INT (The default is to continue the attempts to contact mbatchd)
LSB_OLD_JOBID
Syntax LSB_OLD_JOBID=job_ID
Description

the new job ID. LSB_OLD_JOBID identifies the original ID of a job before it is
restarted.
Valid values
Any positive integer
Where defined
