Logging a comment when controlling a queue
Use the -C option of badmin queue commands qclose, qopen, qact, and
qinact to log an administrator comment in lsb.events. For example,
% badmin qclose -C "change configuration" normal
The comment text change configuration is recorded in lsb.events.
A new event record is recorded for each queue event. For example:
% badmin qclose -C "add user" normal
followed by
% badmin qclose -C "add user user1" normal
will generate records in lsb.events:
"QUEUE_CTRL" "6.0 1050082373 1 "normal" 32185 "lsfadmin" "add user"
"QUEUE_CTRL" "6.0 1050082380 1 "normal" 32185 "lsfadmin" "add user user1"
