Run interactive tasks with lsrun and lsgrun

The lsrun command runs a task on either the current local host or remotely on the best available host, provided it can find the necessary resources and the appropriate host type. The lsgrun command is similar to lsrun, but it runs a task on a group of hosts.

The following command runs the ls command. In this case, the command ran through LSF on the local host:

% lsrun ls -l /usr/share/lsf/cluster1/conf/
total 742
-rw-r--r--   1 root     lsf        11372 Jul 16 16:23 cshrc.lsf
-rw-r--r--   1 root     lsf          365 Oct 25 10:55 hosts
drwxr-xr-x   3 lsfadmin lsf          512 Jul 16 15:53 lsbatch
-rw-r--r--   1 lsfadmin lsf         1776 Nov 23 15:13 lsf.conf
-rw-r--r--   1 lsfadmin lsf         8453 Nov 16 17:46 lsf.shared
-rw-r--r--   1 root     lsf        10485 Jul 16 17:08 profile.lsf

You can also specify a host where you want to run a command. For example, the following command runs the hostname command on the remote host hosta:

% lsrun -v -m hosta hostname
<<Execute hostname on remote host hosta>>
hosta

The following command runs the hostname command on three remote hosts:

% lsgrun -v -m "hosta hostb hostc" hostname
<<Executing hostname on hosta>>
hosta
<<Executing hostname on hostb>>
hostb
<<Executing hostname on hostc>>
hostc
