Command arguments for job switch controls

eswitch arguments provide flexibility for filtering and modifying job switch requests by letting you specify options for eswitch programs.

The bswitch –a command option supports arguments for a given eswitch. Users can customize their eswitch applications, put them under LSF_SERVERDIR, and then submit jobs as bswitch –a “application_name” queue_name job_id.

The bswitch -a option functions the same as the bsub -a option, except that it controls eswitch files instead of esub/epsub files.
