138 Platform LSF Command Reference
PRE_EXEC The PRE_EXEC command runs on the execution host before the job associated with
the queue is dispatched to the execution host (or to the first host selected for a
parallel batch job).
POST_EXEC The post-execution command for the queue. The POST_EXEC command runs on the
execution host after the job finishes.
REQUEUE_EXIT_VALUES
Jobs that exit with these values are automatically requeued. See lsb.queues(5) for
more information.
RES_REQ Resource requirements of the queue. Only the hosts that satisfy these resource
requirements can be used by the queue.
Maximum slot reservation time
The maximum time in seconds a slot is reserved for a pending job in the queue. See
the SLOT_RESERVE=MAX_RESERVE_TIME[n] parameter in
lsb.queues.
RESUME_COND The conditions that must be satisfied to resume a suspended job on a host. See
lsb.queues(5) for more information.
STOP_COND The conditions which determine whether a job running on a host should be
suspended. See
lsb.queues(5) for more information.
JOB_STARTER An executable file that runs immediately prior to the batch job, taking the batch job
file as an input argument. All jobs submitted to the queue are run via the job starter,
which is generally used to create a specific execution environment before
processing the jobs themselves. See
lsb.queues(5) for more information.
CHUNK_JOB_SIZE Chunk jobs only. Specifies the maximum number of jobs allowed to be dispatched
together in a chunk job. All of the jobs in the chunk are scheduled and dispatched
as a unit rather than individually. The ideal candidates for job chunking are jobs
that typically takes 1 to 2 minutes to run.
SEND_JOBS_TO MultiCluster. List of remote queue names to which the queue forwards jobs.
RECEIVE_JOBS_FROM
MultiCluster. List of remote cluster names from which the queue receives jobs.
PREEMPTION PREEMPTIVE
The queue is preemptive. Jobs in this queue may preempt running jobs from
lower-priority queues, even if the lower-priority queues are not specified as
preemptive.
PREEMPTABLE
The queue is preemptable. Running jobs in this queue may be preempted by jobs in
higher-priority queues, even if the higher-priority queues are not specified as
preemptive.
