Allow the LSF Planner to ignore cetain select[] criteria

The current LSF Planner is unable to create a plan if the "bsub -R "select[blah>blah]" ./a.out" select clause does not match any hosts. This is very counter productive. For certain ELIM based resources such as 'freescratch', 'freetmp', etc. The...

Allow the INELIBIBLE flag to apply to Job Slots and License Scheduler Limits

Currently, the INELIGIBLE flag works for several limit classes. Unfortunately, it does not support either SLOT or License Project limits. These are important for using APS with ELIGIBLE pending time calculations and the queue limit of ELIGIBLE_PEN...

FLEXlm supports 'uncounted node locked' Feature Types Report the Checkouts for Them

By default RTM always report 0 max license and 0 in use. However, if you look at the checkouts, there are several in use. Can we get RTM to at least report the number of checked out licenses for this feature class?

Provide an Option to break out of 'bsub' if a job will not submit due to a user hitting their pending job limit

This is a major problem when using a web service to control jobs, you would much rather have the binary end with an exit code than continually block in a loop saying you have reached your pending jobs limit. It's really bad design behavior IMHO.
