Platform LSF Command Reference 21
badmin
Administrative tool for LSF.
Synopsis
badmin subcommand
badmin [-h | -V]
Description
IMPORTANT: This command can only be used by LSF administrators.
badmin
provides a set of subcommands to control and monitor LSF. If no
subcommands are supplied for
badmin, badmin prompts for a subcommand from
standard input.
Information about each subcommand is available through the
help command.
The
badmin subcommands include privileged and non-privileged subcommands.
Privileged subcommands can only be invoked by root or LSF administrators.
Privileged subcommands are:
reconfig
mbdrestart
qopen
qclose
qact
qinact
hopen
hclose
hrestart
hshutdown
hstartup
diagnose
The configuration file lsf.sudoers(5) must be set to use the privileged command
hstartup by a non-root user.
All other commands are non-privileged commands and can be invoked by any LSF
user. If the privileged commands are to be executed by the LSF administrator,
badmin must be installed, because it needs to send the request using a privileged
port.
For subcommands for which multiple hosts can be specified, do not enclose the
host names in quotation marks.
