Example
JOB_IDLE=0.10
A job idle exception is triggered for jobs with an idle value (CPU time/runtime) less
than 0.10.
Default
Undefined. No job idle exceptions are detected.
JOB_OVERRUN
Syntax
JOB_OVERRUN=
run_time
Description
Specifies a threshold for job overrun exception handling. If a job runs longer than the
specified run time, LSF invokes
LSF_SERVERDIR/eadmin to trigger the action for a
job overrun exception.
Example JOB_OVERRUN=5
A job overrun exception is triggered for jobs running longer than 5 minutes.
Default
Undefined. No job overrun exceptions are detected.
JOB_STARTER
Syntax
JOB_STARTER=
starter [starter] ["%USRCMD"] [starter]
Description
Creates a specific environment for submitted jobs prior to execution.
starter is any executable that can be used to start the job (i.e., can accept the job as an
input argument). Optionally, additional strings can be specified.
By default, the user commands run after the job starter. A special string, %USRCMD,
can be used to represent the position of the user’s job in the job starter command line.
The %USRCMD string may be enclosed with quotes or followed by additional
commands.
Example JOB_STARTER=csh -c "%USRCMD;sleep 10"
In this case, if a user submits a job
% bsub myjob arguments
the command that actually runs is:
% csh -c "myjob arguments;sleep 10"
Default
Undefined (no job starter)
JOB_UNDERRUN
Syntax JOB_UNDERRUN=run_time
Description
Specifies a threshold for job underrun exception handling. If a job exits before the
specified number of minutes, LSF invokes
LSF_SERVERDIR/eadmin to trigger the
action for a job underrun exception.
Example JOB_UNDERRUN=2
A job underrun exception is triggered for jobs running less than 2 minutes.
Default
Undefined. No job underrun exceptions are detected.
