    Enhance the Support Tool to be able to remove ZOMBI jobs and create a log of exec hosts and pgids that need to be cleaned

    We had an issue where LSF could not keep up with dispatch due to high numbers of ZOMBI jobs. We would like the ability to shut down LSF and clean up the ZOMBI jobs via a Database repair to accelerate the time-to-restore of the LSF clusters.

    Make Queue Open/Close/Act/Inact 'all' Requests a single event

    We recently had a serious issue that required us to close/inact all of our queues, and then perform a database repair using the IBM support tool. However, when we started LSF, all but one of the queues was Open/Act again. This was due to the suppo...

    Improve Job Priority Output to Exceed 1e6 as APS can easily increase Per Job Priority above that value

    There is currently a system limitation that Job Priories above 1e6 do not display correctly when using bjobs -o "blah" formatted output. This is currently causing us a monitoring issue when attempting to order jobs with a very high dynamic priorit...

    Support Multi-threaded LIM with a Shared Memory Database for Scalability

    It would be nice if LSF's LIM used a shared memory database and could accept multiple threads instead of having to constantly fork itself to return client data. The new setting to increase/decrease the LIM connection backlog was informative, but i...

    Allow Users to specify a ClearCase 'cleartool' command but require that it be white listed first

    Allow the users to override the CLEARTOOL binary path, but only if it's included in a white list configuration file in the $LSF_ENVDIR location. I would suggest something like: cat lsf.daemons.wrap.conf /usr/altira/bin/cleartool /some/authorized/...

    Set more job variables in parent SBATCHD prior to forking the job SBATCHD/RES

    I've been working with the Daemons Wrap source code trying to make the logging more presentable, and I've come accross a hurdle to effectively enhancing that integration. I need both the Job Start and Submit Times, and normally, I would just be ab...
