Synopsis

bsub -t [[[year:]month:]day:]hour:minute

Description

If a UNIX job is still running at the termination time, the job is sent a SIGUSR2 signal, and is killed if it does not terminate within ten minutes.

If a Windows job is still running at the termination time, it is killed immediately. (For a detailed description of how these jobs are killed, see bkill.)

In the queue definition, a TERMINATE action can be configured to override the bkill default action (see the JOB_CONTROLS parameter in lsb.queues(5)).

In an application profile definition, a TERMINATE_CONTROL action can be configured to override the bkill default action (see the TERMINATE_CONTROL parameter in lsb.applications(5)).

The format for the termination time is [[year:][month:]day:]hour:minute where the number ranges are as follows: year after 1970, month 1-12, day 1-31, hour 0-23, minute 0-59.

At least two fields must be specified. These fields are assumed to be hour:minute. If three fields are given, they are assumed to be day:hour:minute, four fields are assumed to be month:day:hour:minute and five fields are assumed to be year: month:day:hour:minute.

If the year field is specified and the specified time is in the past, the job submission request is rejected.
