Specifies the current working directory for the job.
By default, if the current working directory is not accessible on the execution host, the job runs in /tmp. If the environment variable LSB_EXIT_IF_CWD_NOTEXIST is set to Y and the current working directory is not accessible on the execution host, the job exits with the exit code 2.
-Ddata_limit Sets a per-process (soft) data segment size limit for each of the processes that belong to the batch job (see getrlimit(2)). The limit is specified in KB.
This option affects calls to sbrk() and brk() . An sbrk() or malloc() call to extend the data segment beyond the data limit returns an error.
NOTE: Linux does not use sbrk() and brk() within its calloc() and malloc(). Instead, it uses (mmap()) to create memory. DATALIMIT cannot be enforced on Linux applications that call sbrk() and malloc().
-E "pre_exec_command [arguments ...]"
Runs the specified pre-execution command on the execution host before actually running the job. For a parallel job, the pre-execution command runs on the first host selected for the parallel job. If you want the pre-execution command to run on a specific first execution host, specify one or more first execution host candidates at the job level using -m, at the queue level with PRE_EXEC in lsb.queues, or at the application level with PRE_EXEC in lsb.applications.
If the pre-execution command returns a zero (0) exit code, LSF runs the job on the selected host. Otherwise, the job and its associated pre-execution command goes back to PEND status and is rescheduled. LSF keeps trying to run pre-execution commands and pending jobs. After the pre-execution command runs successfully, LSF runs the job. You must ensure that the pre-execution command can run multiple times without causing side effects, such as reserving the same resource more than once.
The standard input and output for the pre-execution command are directed to the same files as the job. The pre-execution command runs under the same user ID, environment, home, and working directory as the job. If the pre-execution command is not in the user’s usual execution path (the $PATH variable), the full path name of the command must be specified.
-Ep "post_exec_command [arguments ...]"
Runs the specified post-execution command on the execution host after the job finishes.
If both application-level (POST_EXEC in lsb.applications) and job-level post-execution commands are specified, job level post-execution overrides application-level post-execution commands. Queue-level post-execution commands (POST_EXEC in lsb.queues) run after application-level post-execution and job-level post-execution commands.
-eerror_file Specify a file path. Appends the standard error output of the job to the specified file.
