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...

Enable override of -u flag to docker in LSF

The docker LSF integration would be more useful if the user inside the container was not forced to be LSB_SUB_USER. It's not clear where this -u flag is being added to the docker command by LSF. The construction of this flag does not appear to be ...

Adjust the priority of pending reason

If both license lack and limit(SLOTS, JOBS) reach together, the job pending reason shows license reason ONLY, not include limit. We want to adjust the priority of pending reason "limit(SLOTS, JOBS)" related pending reason is requested as high ...

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

INQUEUE PREEMPTION

Because "Preemption scheduling" is actually for the jobs in different queues. LSF today has no such feature or concept of in-queue preemption. the new feature maybe work like this: define a INQUEUE_PREEMPT=[[userA,80%] [userB,20%]] ... For example...

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.

Clean left over job's daemon processes after job res finished

We have several workflows that the job script can run tools that will spawn processes in the backgroup or as daemons that will stay active once the job script ends. Since the job script ends, res will end with the exit code of the job script, but ...

License Scheduler ENABLE_DYNAMIC_RUSAGE + FAST_DISPATCH combination

We are troubled by the slow dispatch time of jobs, when the license scheduler is involved. Even after lengthy optimization, the dispatch time remains at 10-25 seconds, which is not good. (note that LMSTAT time and interval is just 3 seconds). If t...
