LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

Description
Creates a specific environment for submitted jobs prior to execution.
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.
By default, the user commands run after the job starter. A special string, %USRCMD, can be
used to represent the position of the user’s job in the job starter command line. The %
USRCMD string and any additional commands must be enclosed in quotation marks (" ").
Example
JOB_STARTER=csh -c "%USRCMD;sleep 10"
In this case, if a user submits a job
% bsub myjob arguments
the command that actually runs is:
% csh -c "myjob arguments;sleep 10"
Default
Not defined. No job starter is used.
JOB_UNDERRUN
Syntax
JOB_UNDERRUN=run_time
Description
Specifies a threshold for job underrun exception handling. If a job exits before the specified
number of minutes, LSF invokes LSF_SERVERDIR/eadmin to trigger the action for a job
underrun exception.
Example
JOB_UNDERRUN=2
A job underrun exception is triggered for jobs running less than 2 minutes.
Default
Not defined. No job underrun exceptions are detected.
JOB_WARNING_ACTION
Syntax
JOB_WARNING_ACTION=signal
Description
Specifies the job action to be taken before a job control action occurs. For example, 2 minutes
before the job reaches runtime limit or termination deadline, or the queue's run window is
closed, an URG signal is sent to the job.
