LSB_MAILSIZE
Syntax
LSB_MAILSIZE=value
Description
Gives an estimate of the size of the batch job output when the output is sent by email. It is not
necessary to configure LSB_MAILSIZE_LIMIT.
LSF sets LSB_MAILSIZE to the size in KB of the job output, allowing the custom mail program
to intercept output that is larger than desired.
LSB_MAILSIZE is not recognized by the LSF default mail program. To prevent large job output
files from interfering with your mail system, use LSB_MAILSIZE_LIMIT to explicitly set the
maximum size in KB of the email containing the job information.
Valid values
A positive integer
If the output is being sent by email, LSB_MAILSIZE is set to the estimated mail size in kilobytes.
-1
If the output fails or cannot be read, LSB_MAILSIZE is set to -1 and the output is sent by email
using LSB_MAILPROG if specified in lsf.conf.
Not defined
If you use the -o or -e options of bsub, the output is redirected to an output file. Because the
output is not sent by email in this case, LSB_MAILSIZE is not used and LSB_MAILPROG is
not called.
If the -N option is used with the -o option of bsub, LSB_MAILSIZE is not set.
Where defined
Set by sbatchd when the custom mail program specified by LSB_MAILPROG in lsf.conf
is called.
