The range is from -20 to 20. REXPRI corresponds to the BSD-style nice value used for
remote jobs. For hosts with System V-style nice values with the range 0 - 39, a REXPRI
of -20 corresponds to a nice value of 0, and +20 corresponds to 39. Higher values of
REXPRI correspond to lower execution priority; -20 gives the highest priority, 0 is the
default priority for login sessions, and +20 is the lowest priority.

RUNWINDOW
Description
Dispatch window for interactive tasks.
When the host is not available for remote execution, the host status is
lockW (locked by
run window). LIM does not schedule interactive tasks on hosts locked by dispatch
windows. Run windows only apply to interactive tasks placed by LIM. The LSF batch
system uses its own (optional) host dispatch windows to control batch job processing
on batch server hosts.
Format
A dispatch window consists of one or more time windows in the format begin_time-
end_time. No blanks can separate begin_time and end_time. Time is specified in the form
[day
:]hour[:minute]. If only one field is specified, LSF assumes it is an hour. Two fields
are assumed to be hour
:minute. Use blanks to separate time windows.
Default
Always accept remote jobs
server
Description
Indicates whether the host can receive jobs from other hosts
Specify 1 if the host can receive jobs from other hosts; specify 0 otherwise. Servers that
are set to 0 are LSF clients. Client hosts do not run the LSF daemons. Client hosts can
submit interactive and batch jobs to the cluster, but they cannot execute jobs sent from
other hosts.
Default
1
type
Description
Host type as defined in the HostType section of lsf.shared
The strings used for host types are determined by the system administrator: for example,
SUNSOL, DEC, or HPPA. The host type is used to identify binary-compatible hosts.
The host type is used as the default resource requirement. That is, if no resource
requirement is specified in a placement request, the task is run on a host of the same
type as the sending host.
Often one host type can be used for many machine models. For example, the host type
name SUNSOL6 might be used for any computer with a SPARC processor running
SunOS 6. This would include many Sun models and quite a few from other vendors as
well.
Optionally, the
! keyword for the model or type column, indicates that the host model
or type is to be automatically detected by the LIM running on the host.
