Example usage of LSF commands
Documented here are a few of the commonly used LSF commands. They are NOT intended for copy-paste purposes, but are intended to provide some guidelines on how these can be used.
Batch (non-interactive) Job submission
To run a job in batch mode:
$ bsub <script_name>
Example:
$ bsub sh sleep.sh Job <9990021> is submitted to default queue <normal>.
To run a job in batch mode that needs more RAM:
$ bsub -M <memory_required> <script_name>
Example (job that requires 30GB of RAM):
$ bsub -M 30720 sh sleep.sh Job <9990022> is submitted to default queue <normal>.
