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.

Improve Suspended Reasons for License Scheduler Jobs

"Presently, when a job is suspended by License Scheduler, it pushes a suspended reason to LSF as follows: ""Preempted by License Scheduler"", which customers have said is insufficient. They would rather know which project or cluster caused the sus...

Ability to display dynamic priority in License scheduler for project group nodes. Currently if priority is not set on a particular level there is no way to display the preemption order, which makes it difficult to explain the decision-making proce...
