Currently the bkill command only tracks (lsb.events) who ran it, and what signal was sent. If we have a heavily active user with a broken script, it is very challenging to find the source of the bkill command. It would be valuable to log the sourc...

RTM to/from LSF communication of Psusp-requeue job notifcation

badmin ckconfig with -f switch to check lsb.* files individually

When we run “badmin ckconfig” – it checks for all batch files by default.It would be great If I can check only for a certain file instead of all lsb.* files – e.g. $ badmin ckconfig -v -f lsb.queues Looking forward to such a feature.
