Syntax

LSB_MAILTO=

mail_account

Description

LSF sends electronic mail to users when their jobs complete or have errors, and to the

LSF administrator in the case of critical errors in the LSF system. The default is to send

mail to the user who submitted the job, on the host on which the daemon is running;

this assumes that your electronic mail system forwards messages to a central mailbox.

The LSB_MAILTO parameter changes the mailing address used by LSF.

LSB_MAILTO is a format string that is used to build the mailing address.

Common formats are:

◆

!U—Mail is sent to the submitting user's account name on the local host. The

substring

!U, if found, is replaced with the user’s account name.

◆

!U@company_name.com—Mail is sent to user@company_name.com on the

mail server.

The mail server is specified by LSB_MAILSERVER.

◆

!U@!H—Mail is sent to user@submission_hostname. The substring !H is

replaced with the name of the submission host.

This format is valid on UNIX only. It is not supported on Windows.

All other characters (including any other ‘

!’) are copied exactly.

If this parameter is modified, the LSF administrator must restart

sbatchd on all hosts

to retrieve the new value.
