Enable bjobs to report peak CPU efficiency

Need to be able to retrieve the peak CPU efficiency from the bjobs command at the end of the run.

The LSFProxy does not print a 'total' count as 'badmin perfmon view' does leading to misreading of the number of total events since restarting

In 'badmin perfmon view', we always are able to see the total events for a specific output class. This is not possible in 'badmin lsfproxyd status' output. Please add that output. Specifically, we can see average/min/max rejections from proxyd, an...

Add bkill option that will set the job status to DONE rather than EXIT

Currently all jobs terminated via bkill are set to status EXIT. With the growing usage of bioinformatics tools and applications that were traditionally run on dedicated servers being integrated into use on HPC resources there is a shifting paradig...

Integrate lsadmin/badmin/bctrld to work with systemd in >= LSF 10.1SP14

Starting in SP14, if we wish to take advantage of individual daemon monitoring for res, sbatchd and lim on server nodes we have to follow the following caveat: Note that once you use systemctl commands to control these daemons, do not use the exis...

bkill command enhancement

We need to use bkill command to kill a specific user's pending jobs. However, there's no such a option for bkill.

Add lsb.params setting to limit the number of times a job can be redispatched upon either a pre-exec failure of job initilization failure

We currently have jobs that will bounce from host to host either based upon a pre-exec failure, or a job initialization failure. This can impact > 500 hosts and cause an increase in MBD memory use. It would be nice to have a setting such as: MA...

Provide lsmake parallel compilation tool for aarch64 systems.

Our engineers make wide-spread use of lsmake to parallelise their compilations across our x86 nodes, and wish to use the same toolset on aarch64 nodes.

Set a limit in the MC receive queue

TSMC is using MC to balance work load between clusters. When the submission cluster is busy, it forwards some jobs to execution clusters. The execution cluster has it's own workload except the forwarded jobs. To avoid the forwarded jobs occupy mos...

expand -o options for bqueues

The current bqueues -o options are useful, and it would be helpful to add the resource limits (e.g., memlimit, cpulimit, etc.) as they currently require 'bqueues -l |grep -A1 LIMIT' to collect the information.

Allow 'ssacct' to work without specifying a file path when the session is still running

Currently Session Scheduler's 'ssacct' command works without the -f option only when the Session is finished. LSF knows where the account file is when the job is running, so why can we not see the account output when the session is running?
