Synopsis

bsub -XF

Conflicting options

Do not use with the following options: -IX, -K, -r.

Description

A job submitted with SSH X11 forwarding cannot be used with job arrays, job chunks, or user account mapping.

Jobs with SSH X11 forwarding cannot be checked or modified by an esub.

Use -XF with -I to submit an interactive job using SSH X11 forwarding. The session is displayed throughout the job lifecycle.

Note: LSF does not support SSH X11 forwarding with the LSF multicluster capability.

bjobs -l displays job information, including any jobs submitted with SSH X11 forwarding.

bhist -l displays historical job information, including any jobs submitted with SSH X11 forwarding.

Optionally, specify LSB_SSH_XFORWARD_CMD in lsf.conf. You can replace the default value with an SSH command (full PATH and options allowed).

For more information about LSB_SSH_XFORWARD_CMD, see the LSF Configuration Reference.

Troubleshooting

Enable the following parameters in lsf.conf::
  • LSF_NIOS_DEBUG=1
  • LSF_LOG_MASK="LOG_DEBUG"

SSH X11 forwarding must be already working outside LSF.
