Chapter 20
Job Dependencies
◆ In Windows, enclose the dependency expression in double quotes (")
when the expression contains a space. For example:
❖ bsub -w "exit(678, 0)" requires double quotes in Windows.
❖ bsub -w 'exit(678,0)' can use single quotes in Windows.
◆ In the job name, specify the wildcard character (*) at the end of a string, to
indicate all jobs whose name begins with the string. For example, if you
use jobA* as the job name, it specifies jobs named jobA, jobA1,
jobA_test, jobA.log, etc.
Multiple jobs with the same name
By default, if you use the job name to specify a dependency condition, and
more than one of your jobs has the same name, all of your jobs that have that
name must satisfy the test.
To change this behavior, set JOB_DEP_LAST_SUB in lsb.params to 1. Then,
if more than one of your jobs has the same name, the test is done on the one
submitted most recently.
