DISPATCH_WINDOW
Description
The time windows in which jobs from this host, host model, or host type are dispatched. Once

Default

EXIT_RATE
Description
Specifies a threshold for exited jobs. If the job exit rate is exceeded for 5 minutes or the period
specified by JOB_EXIT_RATE_DURATION in lsb.params, LSF invokes
LSF_SERVERDIR/eadmin to trigger a host exception.
EXIT_RATE for a specific host overrides a default GLOBAL_EXIT_RATE specified in
lsb.params.
Example
The following Host section defines a job exit rate of 20 jobs for all hosts, and an exit rate of 10
jobs on hostA.
Begin Host HOST_NAME MXJ EXIT_RATE # Keywords Default !
20 hostA ! 10 End Host
