About /run/user/$uid

Could you please make "/run/user/$uid" the same for both ssh and interactive jobs?

when user logon the host, /run/user/$uid is created by pam_systemd and used for storing files used by running processes for that user.

When a user logs out, and no active sessions remain, pam_systemd will remove the /run/user/$uid directory.

LSF does not use "ssh" or "rsh" to start jobs. When job run on execution host, sbatchd and res do not call pam_systemd by default. So "/run/user/$uid" is not created.

Some users hope that "/run/user/$uid" is the same in ssh and interactive jobs.

And I heard that LSF development suggested opening RFE for this issue because this requirement is not in LSF function scope.

    Having LSF create this logon file, without actually doing a logon, would have the knock on effect of triggering exceptions in security software that was looking for spoof logons.
    On the avoid of the security focal, we will not be implementing this.

    I heard that some user uses /run/user/$uid.

    If interactive jobs make /run/user/$uid the same as other logins, it will help the user.

    If it's not possible, I'll try to discuss to the user again.

    We don't under what the specific use case is, or the value of doing this.
    /run/user/$uid is created when a login is initiated. As support has stated, LSF does not perform a "login" when starting a job
