LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Feature: LSF daemon startup control
The LSF daemon startup control feature allows you to specify a list of user accounts other than
root that can start LSF daemons on UNIX hosts. This feature also enables UNIX and Windows
users to bypass the additional login required to start res and sbatchd when the EGO Service
Controller (EGOSC) is configured to control LSF daemons; bypassing the EGO administrator
login enables the use of scripts to automate system startup.

About LSF daemon startup control
Startup by users other than root (UNIX only)
On UNIX hosts, by default only root can manually start LSF daemons. To manually start LSF
daemons, a user runs the commands lsadmin and badmin, which have been installed as
setuid root. The LSF daemon startup control feature allows you to specify a list of user accounts
that are allowed to run the commands lsadmin and badmin to start LSF daemons. The list
is defined in the file lsf.sudoers.
On Windows hosts, the Platform services admin group identifies the user accounts that can
start and shut down LSF daemons.
