LSF Version 7.3 - Running Jobs With Platform LSF
Viewing Job Output (bpeek)
The output from a job is normally not available until the job is finished. However, LSF
provides the
bpeek command for you to look at the output the job has produced so far.
By default,
bpeek shows the output from the most recently submitted job. You can also
select the job by queue or execution host, or specify the job ID or job name on the
command line.
For more details on
bpeek options, see the bpeek command in the Platform LSF
Reference.
Viewing output of a running job
Only the job owner can use bpeek to see job output. The bpeek command will not
work on a job running under a different user account.
To save time, you can use this command to check if your job is behaving as you expected
and kill the job if it is running away or producing unusable results.
For example:
bpeek 1234
<< output from stdout >>
Starting phase 1
Phase 1 done
Calculating new parameters
