All LSF messages and errors outputs

Hello LSF team,

It would be extermely helpful to get all the output messages and errors the LSF commands provide - standard commands such as bjobs, bsub, bkill, bconf and bmod.
For example, in case of bconf when cluster needs to run badmin mbdrestart or reconfig:
"You must run badmin mbdrestart or badmin reconfig to use bconf."

That way that this would prove helpful is to know all the outputs, in order to apply all necessary LSF error/output controls on internal workflows and automations, that way it is possible to allign a better way automate the LSF commands and prevent unknown LSF outputs from stopping these workflows.

Online there aren't any information about the full picture on LSF command outputs - some brief information on General errors (https://www.ibm.com/docs/en/spectrum-lsf/10.1.0?topic=problems-lsf-error-messages)

If possible please provide a list of all the possible LSF command output messages.
Or let me know where I can find this information.

Thank you.

Best regards,
Emanuel Dias.
