Controlling Job Arrays
You can control the whole array, all the jobs submitted from the job array, with a
single command. LSF also provides the ability to control individual jobs and groups
of jobs submitted from a job array. When issuing commands against a job array, use
the job array job ID instead of the job array name. Job names are not unique in LSF,
and issuing a command using a job array name may result in unpredictable
behavior.
Most LSF commands allow operation on both the whole job array, individual jobs,
and groups of jobs. These commands include
bkill, bstop, bresume, and bmod.
Some commands only allow operation on individual jobs submitted from a job
array. These commands include
btop, bbot, and bswitch.
