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...

Show unformatted pending reasons with bjobs -UF

Information for PENDING REASONS remains formatted for the command "bjobs -UF [-p|-p0|-p1|-p2|-p3] <jobid>" which makes it hard for scripts to parse the output. Current output: $: bjobs -UF -p3 <jobid> ... PENDING REASONS: Candidate hos...

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.
