change in the way graceful exits are handled/reported

See this idea on ideas.ibm.com

When LSF sends kill signal to job, based on the time job takes to complete, it sometimes return "0" exit code and sometimes non-zero. This leads to diff message being return by LSF commands.

In this RFE I would like to address ::
1. What exit code should be set for the case? pick any non-zero, higher exit codes
2. The enhancement should be parameter-controlled to minimize the impact to other users, because this is an UI change for bjobs/bhist/bacct etc. that are commonly used by users.
3. The scope of the enhancement - jobs that are terminated due to other limits being reached, e.g memlimit/runlimit/swaplimit/stacklimit etc. perhaps even bkilled jobs(bkill sends sigint,sigterm and sigkill at 10 seconds interval too)

    Closing due to no response from submitter. Please resubmit if still required and the suggested solutions are insufficient.

    Have you reviewed the feature SUCCESS_EXIT_VALUES in lsb.queues and lsb.applications? Also, there is a signal escalation setting called: JOB_TERMINATE_INTERVAL in lsb.params that set's the threshold between signal escalation steps. See the following articles:

    https://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=isg3T1015955
    https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/en/SSETD4_9.1.3/lsf_config_ref/lsb.params.job_terminate_interval.5.html

    Some applications require this settings to be higher than the default. Applications like Abaqus recommend a setting of 90 to allow their application to clean up any temporary files after they receive the first signal.

    I think that it might be nice to allow the settings to be tailored at the lsb.applications level. But setting high enough at the system level should be sufficient.
