JOB_POSTPROC_TIMEOUT
Syntax
JOB_POSTPROC_TIMEOUT=minutes
Description
Specifies a timeout in minutes for job post-execution processing. The specified timeout must
be greater than zero
If post-execution processing takes longer than the timeout, sbatchd reports that post-
execution has failed (POST_ERR status), and kills the process group of the job’s post-execution
processes. Only the parent process of the post-execution command is killed when the timeout
expires. The child processes of the post-execution command are not killed.
If JOB_INCLUDE_POSTPROC=Y, and sbatchd kills the post-execution processes because
the timeout has been reached, the CPU time of the post-execution processing is set to 0, and
the job’s CPU time does not include the CPU time of post-execution processing.
JOB_POSTPROC_TIMEOUT defined in an application profile in lsb.applications
overrides the value in lsb.params. JOB_POSTPROC_TIMEOUT cannot be defined in user
environment.
Default
Not defined. Post-execution processing does not time out.
FILELIMIT
Syntax
FILELIMIT=integer
Description
The per-process (soft) file size limit (in KB) for all of the processes belonging to a job running
in the application profile (see getrlimit(2)). Application-level limits override any default
limit specified in the queue, but must be less than the hard limit of the submission queue.
Default
Unlimited
JOB_STARTER
Syntax
JOB_STARTER=starter [starter] ["%USRCMD"] [starter]
Description
Creates a specific environment for submitted jobs prior to execution. An application-level job
starter overrides a queue-level job starter.
starter is any executable that can be used to start the job (i.e., can accept the job as an input
argument). Optionally, additional strings can be specified.
