LSF Version 7.3 - Running Jobs With Platform LSF
Submitting a Job with Start or Termination Times
By default, LSF dispatches jobs as soon as possible, and then allows them to finish,
although resource limits might terminate the job before it finishes.
You can specify a time of day at which to start or terminate a job.
Submitting a job with a start time
If you do not want to start your job immediately when you submit it, use bsub -b to
specify a start time. LSF will not dispatch the job before this time. For example:
bsub -b 5:00 myjob
This example submits a job that remains pending until after the local time on the master
host reaches 5 a.m.
Submitting a job with a termination time
Use bsub -t to submit a job and specify a time after which the job should be
terminated. For example:
bsub -b 11:12:5:40 -t 11:12:20:30 myjob
The job called myjob is submitted to the default queue and will start after November
12 at 05:40 a.m. If the job is still running on November 12 at 8:30 p.m., it will be killed.
