commands.json

The commands.json file is a JSON array in plain text format. Each element in the JSON array is a JSON object that contains three fields. For example:

{
        "command" : "bsub",
        "unSupportedParameters" : ["-I", "-Ip", "-Is", "-IS", "-J"],
        "standalone" : false
}

Each JSON object contains these fields:

command

Required field. The name of the command that LSF Web Services is allowed to run (in the example, bsub is an LSF command to run). Specify a string for this value.

unSupportedParameters

Optional field. The command parameters or options that LSF Web Services is not allowed to run with the command specified in the command field. Specify a JSON array of strings. Each string represents a parameter or option that LSF Web Services is not allowed to run with the specified command. In the example, LSF Web Services is not allowed to run the bsub command with the -I, -Ip, -Is, -IS, or -J options.

standalone

Optional field. Specify either true or false. When this field is set to false, LSF Web Services is not allowed to run the command specified in the command field without any parameters or any arguments. This field is for commands that will fall into interactive mode when called as a standalone command, such as the bsub command.

Allow running the bjobs command from LSF Web Services with or without parameters or arguments:

{ "command" : "bjobs"}

}

Allow running the bjobs command from LSF Web Services, run as a standalone command but not with the -b parameter option:

{
        "command" : "bjobs",
        "unSupportedParameters" : ["-J"]
}

Allow running the bjobs command from LSF Web Services, but not run as a standalone command and not with the -J parameter option:

        "unSupportedParameters" : ["-J"],
        "standalone" : false
}
