Gets the standard input for the job from specified file. Specify an absolute or relative path. The input file can be any type of file, though it is typically a shell script text file.
Unless you use
NOTE: The file path can contain up to 4094 characters for UNIX and Linux, or up to 255 characters for Windows, including the directory, file name, and expanded values for %J (job_ID) and %I (index_ID).
If the file exists on the execution host, LSF uses it. Otherwise, LSF attempts to copy the file from the submission host to the execution host. For the file copy to be successful, you must allow remote copy (rcp) access, or you must submit the job from a server host where RES is running. The file is copied from the submission host to a temporary file in the directory specified by the JOB_SPOOL_DIR parameter in lsb.params, or your $HOME/.lsbatch directory on the execution host. LSF removes this file when the job completes.
By default, the input file is spooled to LSB_SHAREDIR/cluster_name/lsf_indir. If the lsf_indir directory does not exist, LSF creates it before spooling the file. LSF removes the spooled file when the job completes. Use the
If JOB_SPOOL_DIR is specified, the
JOB_SPOOL_DIR can be any valid path up to a maximum length up to 4094 characters on UNIX and Linux or up to 255 characters for Windows.
JOB_SPOOL_DIR must be readable and writable by the job submission user, and it must be shared by the master host and the submission host. If the specified directory is not accessible or does not exist, bsub
Assigns the specified name to the job, and, for job arrays, specifies the indices of the job array and optionally the maximum number of jobs that can run at any given time.
The job name does not need to be unique.
Job names can contain up to 4094 characters for UNIX and Linux, or up to 255 characters for Windows.
To specify a job array, enclose the index list in square brackets, as shown, and enclose the entire job array specification in quotation marks, as shown. The index list is a
By default, the maximum number of jobs in a job array is 1000, which means the maximum size of a job array (that is, the maximum job array index) can never exceed 1000 jobs.
