Huge *.out files is getting created in /tmp issue

Sometimes LSF job STDOUT files, such as $JOB_SPOOL_DIR/..out grow to enormous sizes and fill up the filesystem. Neither Linux nor LSF provides a mechanism to limit the size of those specific files without also limiting all other files on the files...

LSF should support mapping resources to host group(s)

We need to map 200 dynamic gpu resources to all 120 gpu nodes due to gpu auto config is not supported in RHEL6. In the current latest LSF 10.1.0.9, we have to add 120 host names to each of 200 resources. This makes lsf.cluster file very messy. And...

Change the name of "libevent.so".

We have "libevent.so" for our application. LSF "libevent.so" conflict with it and we have to set library path for ours in job scripts. "libevent.so" is too common name, so please change it in LSF, like "liblsfevent.so".

Allow bjobs command to show the pre and post exec exitStatus/exitCode information

Right now, we require bhist to get any detail on pre/post exec error codes, it would be nice if we could get this from the job record via bjobs vs. bhist. bhist in very large environments is a non-starter for obtaining this status information.

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...
