Understanding External Executables
About esub and eexec
LSF provides the ability to validate, modify, or reject job submissions, modify
execution environments, and pass data from the submission host directly to the
execution host through the use of the
esub and eexec executables. Both are
site-specific and user written and must be located in LSF_SERVERDIR.
Validate, modify, or reject a job
To validate, modify, or reject a job, an esub needs to be written. See Using esub on
page 574
Modifying execution environments
To modify the execution environment on the execution host, an eexec needs to be
written. See Working with eexec on page 582
Passing data
To pass data directly to the execution host, an esub and eexec need to be written.
