LSB_SIGSTOP

Syntax

LSB_SIGSTOP=signal_name | signal_value

Description

Specifies the signal sent by the SUSPEND action in LSF. You can specify a signal name or a number.

If this parameter is not defined, by default the SUSPEND action in LSF sends the following signals to a job:
  • Parallel or interactive jobs: SIGTSTP is sent to allow user programs to catch the signal and clean up. The parallel job launcher also catches the signal and stops the entire job (task by task for parallel jobs). Once LSF sends SIGTSTP, LSF assumes the job is stopped.
  • Other jobs: SIGSTOP is sent. SIGSTOP cannot be caught by user programs. The same set of signals is not supported on all UNIX systems. To display a list of the symbolic names of the signals (without the SIG prefix) supported on your system, use the kill -l command.

Example

LSB_SIGSTOP=SIGKILL

In this example, the SUSPEND action sends the three default signals sent by the TERMINATE action (SIGINT, SIGTERM, and SIGKILL) 10 seconds apart.

Default

Not defined. Default SUSPEND action in LSF is sent.
