LSF Version 7.3 - Administering Platform LSF

Customize batch command messages
54 Administering Platform LSF
Customize batch command messages
LSF displays error messages when a batch command cannot communicate with
mbatchd. Users see these messages when the batch command retries the connection
to
mbatchd.
You can customize three of these messages to provide LSF users with more detailed
information and instructions.
1 In the file lsf.conf, identify the parameter for the message that you want to
customize.
The following lists the parameters you can use to customize messages when a
batch command does not receive a response from
mbatchd.
2 Specify a message string, or specify an empty string:
❖ To specify a message string, enclose the message text in quotation marks (")
as shown in the following example:
LSB_MBD_BUSY_MSG="The mbatchd daemon is busy. Your command
will retry every 5 minutes. No action required.
"
❖ To specify an empty string, type quotation marks (") as shown in the
following example:
LSB_MBD_BUSY_MSG=""
Whether you specify a message string or an empty string, or leave the
parameter undefined, the batch command retries the connection to
mbatchd at
the intervals specified by the parameters LSB_API_CONNTIMEOUT and
LSB_API_RECVTIMEOUT.
NOTE: Before Version 7.0, LSF displayed the following message for all three message types:
"batch daemon not responding…still trying." To display the previous default message, you
must define each of the three message parameters and specify "batch daemon not
responding…still trying" as the message string.
3 Save and close the lsf.conf file.
