Output
Default Output
Displays the following fields:
QUEUE_NAME The name of the queue. Queues are named to correspond to the type of jobs usually
submitted to them, or to the type of services they provide.
lost_and_found
If the LSF administrator removes queues from the system, LSF creates a queue
called
lost_and_found and places the jobs from the removed queues into the
lost_and_found queue. Jobs in the lost_and_found queue are not started unless
they are switched to other queues (see
bswitch).
PRIO The priority of the queue. The larger the value, the higher the priority. If job priority
is not configured, determines the queue search order at job dispatch, suspension
and resumption time. Jobs from higher priority queues are dispatched first (this is
contrary to UNIX process priority ordering), and jobs from lower priority queues
are suspended first when hosts are overloaded.
STATUS The current status of the queue. The possible values are:
Open
The queue is able to accept jobs.
Closed
The queue is not able to accept jobs.
Active
Jobs in the queue may be started.
Inactive
Jobs in the queue cannot be started for the time being.
At any moment, each queue is either
Open or Closed, and is either Active or
Inactive. The queue can be opened, closed, inactivated and re-activated by the
LSF administrator using
badmin (see badmin(8)).
Jobs submitted to a queue that is later closed are still dispatched as long as the queue
is active. The queue can also become inactive when either its dispatch window is
closed or its run window is closed (see DISPATCH_WINDOWS in the “Output for
the -l Option” section). In this case, the queue cannot be activated using
badmin.
