From Wikipedia, Load Sharing Facility (or simply LSF) is a commercial computer software, job scheduler sold by Platform Computing. It can be used to execute batch jobs on networked Unix.
Here is a summary of some commands I’ve been using. Every command has quite a lot of options so I will not enter into details. Just use the “man” command to get all the details about a LSF command (e.g., man bsub).
Running a single script with bsub
We consider a script called “script.sh”. To launch it just type
bsub script.sh |
When the job is submitted you should get information about the job id:
Job <9222520> is submitted to queue XXX. |
Following the job status with bjobs
Now, you can follow the job status:
bjobs -l 9222520 |
Killing jobs with bkill
You want to delete the job ? Use the bkill command
bkill 9222520 |
If you have many jobs, you can kill them all as follows:
bkill 0 |
