Queues can be configured with a dispatch window, which specifies one or
more time periods during which jobs are accepted. Hosts can be configured
with a dispatch window, which specifies one or more time periods during
which jobs are allowed to start.
Once a dispatch window is configured, LSF cannot dispatch jobs outside of the
window. By default, no dispatch windows are configured (the windows are
always open).
Dispatch windows have no effect on jobs that have already been dispatched
to the execution host; jobs are allowed to run outside the dispatch windows,
as long as the queue run window is open.
Each queue can have a dispatch window. A queue can only dispatch jobs
when the window is open.
You can submit jobs to a queue at any time; if the queue dispatch window is
closed, the jobs remain pending in the queue until the dispatch window opens
again.
Each host can have dispatch windows. A host is not eligible to accept jobs
when its dispatch windows are closed.

Dispatch windows can be defined for both queues and hosts. The default is no
restriction, or always open.
To configure dispatch windows for a host, set DISPATCH_WINDOW in
lsb.hosts and specify one or more time windows. If no host dispatch
window is configured, the window is always open.
To configure dispatch windows for queues, set DISPATCH_WINDOW in
lsb.queues and specify one or more time windows. If no queue dispatch
window is configured, the window is always open.
