badmin

Administrative tool for LSF.

Synopsis

badmin subcommand

badmin [-h -V]

Description

IMPORTANT: This command can only be used by LSF administrators.

badmin provides a set of subcommands to control and monitor LSF. If no subcommands are supplied for badmin, badmin prompts for a subcommand from standard input.

Information about each subcommand is available through the help command.

The badmin subcommands include privileged and non-privileged subcommands. Privileged subcommands can only be invoked by root or LSF administrators. Privileged subcommands are:

reconfig mbdrestart qopen qclose qact qinact hopen hclose hrestart hshutdown hstartup diagnose

The configuration file lsf.sudoers(5) must be set to use the privileged command hstartup by a non-root user.

All other commands are non-privileged commands and can be invoked by any LSF user. If the privileged commands are to be executed by the LSF administrator, badmin must be installed, because it needs to send the request using a privileged port.

For subcommands for which multiple hosts can be specified, do not enclose the host names in quotation marks.
