Job dependency examples
If you use job arrays, you can specify additional dependency conditions that
only work with job arrays.
To use other dependency conditions with array jobs, specify elements of a job
array in the usual way.

The simplest kind of dependency expression consists of only one
dependency condition. For example, if JobA depends on the successful
completion of JobB, submit the job as shown:
bsub -J "JobA" -w 'done(JobB)' command
-w 'done(312) && (started(Job2)||exit("99Job"))'
The submitted job will not start until the job with the job ID of 312 has
completed successfully, and either the job named Job2 has started, or the
job named 99Job has terminated abnormally.
-w '"210"'
The submitted job will not start unless the job named 210 is finished. The
numeric job name should be doubly quoted, since the UNIX shell treats
-w "210" the same as -w 210, which would evaluate the job with the job
ID of 210.
