Run LSF jobs

Use the bsub and lsrun commands to run jobs through LSF. Use the bjobs command to see the status of your jobs. Control job execution with the bstop, bresume, and bkill commands.

Run LSF jobs with bsub and lsrun

Use two basic commands to run jobs through LSF:

bsub submits jobs to the LSF batch scheduler. LSF schedules and dispatches jobs to the best available host based on the scheduling policies you configure in your LSF queues.
The lsrun command runs an interactive task on the best available host, based on current system load information gathered by the lim daemon.

For most jobs, all you need to do is add either the lsrun or bsub command in front of the job commands you normally use. You usually don't need to modify your executable applications or execution scripts.
