LSF: default duration for external resources

Manage default duration for external resources, mainly for license resources.

Currently, default duration for external resources is infinite (job duration).

Can you please give new facilities to:
- manage default duration for external resources, something like DEFAULT_DURATION parameter in lsf.conf or lsb.params !
- manage default duration for each individual external resources by adding a new column named DURATION in the lsf.shared file ?

these durations expressed in the default time unit or by adding a unit keyword like s for seconds etc, "-" or "()" for default value.

    As part of the review process, we strive to be transparent about our intentions with each enhancement suggestion. The product team has carefully reviewed this idea and has decided that it does not fit into our current plans, so the request for enhancement record will be closed. The request will be kept in IBM's ideas repository and might be reassessed or reopened for additional feedback or voting in the future.

    This request will not be delivered within the release currently under development, but the theme is aligned with our multi-year strategy. We are looking for more feedback for this request through activities such as voting. We will update this request in the future.
