lsmode
Syntax
Description
lsmode [on|off] [local|remote] [e|-e] [v|-v] [t|-t]
The lsmode command reports that LSF is enabled if lstcsh was able to
contact LIM when it started up. If LSF is disabled, no load-sharing features are
available.
The lsmode command takes a number of arguments that control how lstcsh
behaves.
With no arguments, lsmode displays the current settings:
% lsmode

Options ◆ [on | off]
Turns load sharing on or off. When turned off, you can send a command
line to a remote host only if force eligibility is specified with @.
The default is on.
◆ [local | remote]
Sets lstcsh to use local or remote mode.
The default is local. See “Local and Remote Modes” on page 550 for a
description of local and remote modes.
◆ [e | -e]
Turns eligibility verbose mode on (e) or off (-e). If eligibility verbose mode
is on, lstcsh shows whether the command is eligible for remote
execution, and displays the resource requirement used if the command is
eligible.
The default is off.
◆ [v | -v]
Turns task placement verbose mode on (v) or off (-v). If verbose mode is
on, lstcsh displays the name of the host on which the command is run,
if the command is not run on the local host. The default is on.
