LSF Version 7.3 - Platform LSF Configuration Reference

LSB_ESUB_METHOD
Syntax
LSB_ESUB_METHOD="esub_application [esub_application] ..."
Description
Specifies a mandatory esub that applies to all job submissions. LSB_ESUB_METHOD lists the
names of the application-specific esub executables used in addition to any executables specified
by the bsub -a option.
For example, LSB_ESUB_METHOD="dce fluent" runs LSF_SERVERDIR/esub.dce and
LSF_SERVERDIR/esub.fluent for all jobs submitted to the cluster. These esubs define,
respectively, DCE as the mandatory security system and FLUENT as the mandatory
application for all jobs.
LSB_ESUB_METHOD can also be defined as an environment variable.
The value of LSB_ESUB_METHOD must correspond to an actual esub file. For example, to
use LSB_ESUB_METHOD=fluent, the file esub.fluent must exist in LSF_SERVERDIR.
The name of the esub program must be a valid file name. Valid file names contain only
alphanumeric characters, underscore (_) and hyphen (-).
Restriction:
The name esub.user is reserved. Do not use the name
esub.user for an application-specific esub.
The master esub (mesub) uses the name you specify to invoke the appropriate esub program.
The esub and esub.esub_application programs must be located in LSF_SERVERDIR.
LSF does not detect conflicts based on esub names. For example, if
LSB_ESUB_METHOD="openmpi" and bsub -a pvm is specified at job submission, the job
could fail because these esubs define two different types of parallel job handling.
Default
Not defined. LSF does not apply a mandatory esub to jobs submitted to the cluster.
LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH
Syntax
LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH=y | Y
Description
If set, enables enhanced messaging for interactive batch jobs. To disable interactive batch job
messages, set LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH to any value other than y or Y; for example,
LSB_INTERACT_MSG_ENH=N.
Default
Not defined
