LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

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 entire process group of the job’s post-
execution processes on UNIX and Linux. On Windows, 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.
In MultiCluster job forwarding model, the JOB_POSTPROC_TIMEOUT value in the
receiving cluster applies to the job.
MultiCluster job lease model, the JOB_POSTPROC_TIMEOUT value applies to jobs running
on remote leased hosts as if they were running on local hosts.
Default
Not defined. Post-execution processing does not time out.
JOB_PRIORITY_OVER_TIME
Syntax
JOB_PRIORITY_OVER_TIME=increment/interval
Description
JOB_PRIORITY_OVER_TIME enables automatic job priority escalation when
MAX_USER_PRIORITY is also defined.
Valid Values
increment
Specifies the value used to increase job priority every interval minutes. Valid values are positive
integers.
interval
Specifies the frequency, in minutes, to increment job priority. Valid values are positive integers.
