Job Starters
Examples
UNIX
Windows
If you define the LSF_JOB_STARTER environment variable using the following
C-shell command:
% setenv LSF_JOB_STARTER "/bin/sh -c"
Then you run a simple C-shell job:
% lsrun "’a.out; hostname’"
The command that actually runs is:
/bin/sh -c "/bin/sh -c ’a.out hostname’"
The job starter can be a shell script. In the following example, the
LSF_JOB_STARTER environment variable is set to the Bourne shell script
named job_starter:
$ LSF_JOB_STARTER=/usr/local/job_starter
The job_starter script contains the following:
#!/bin/sh
set term = xterm
eval "$*"
If you define the LSF_JOB_STARTER environment variable as follows:
% set LSF_JOB_STARTER=C:\cmd.exe /C
Then you run a simple DOS shell job:
C:\> lsrun dir /p
The command that actually runs is:
C:\cmd.exe /C dir /p
