bstop


suspends unfinished jobs

SYNOPSIS

bstop [-a] [-d] [-g job_group_name |-sla service_class_name] [-J job_name] [-m host_name | -m host_group] [-q queue_name] [-u user_name | -u user_group | -u all] [0] [job_ID "job_ID[index]"] ...

bstop [-h | -V]

DESCRIPTION

Suspends unfinished jobs.

Sends the SIGSTOP signal to sequential jobs and the SIGTSTP signal to parallel jobs to suspend them.

You must specify a job ID or -g, -J, -m, -u, or -q. You cannot suspend a job that is already suspended. Specify job ID 0 (zero) to stop multiple jobs.

Only root and LSF administrators can operate on jobs submitted by other users.

Use bresume to resume suspended jobs.

Using bstop on a job that is in the USUSP state has no effect.

You can also use bkill -s STOP to send the suspend signal to a job or use bkill -s TSTP to suspend one or more parallel jobs. Use bkill -s CONT to send a resume signal to a job.

If a signal request fails to reach the job execution host, LSF will retry the operation later when the host becomes reachable. LSF retries the most recent signal request.

OPTIONS

0

Suspends all the jobs that satisfy other options (-g, -m, -q, -u, and -J).

-a

Suspends all jobs.

-d

Suspends only finished jobs (with a DONE or EXIT status).

-g job_group_name

Suspends only on jobs in the job group specified by job_group_name.

You cannot use -g with -sla. A job can either be attached to a job group or a service class, but not both.

-J job_name

Suspends only jobs with the specified name.

-m host_name | -m host_group

Suspends only jobs dispatched to the specified host or host group.

-q queue_name

Suspends only jobs in the specified queue.

-sla service_class_name

Suspends jobs belonging to the specified service class.

You cannot use -g with -sla. A job can either be attached to a job group or a service class, but not both.

Use bsla to display the properties of service classes configured in LSB_CONFDIR/cluster_name/configdir/lsb.serviceclasses (see lsb.serviceclasses(5)) and dynamic information about the state of each configured service class.

-u user_name | -u user_group | -u all

Suspends only jobs owned by the specified user or user group, or all users if the keyword all is specified.

job_ID ... | "job_ID[index]" ...

Suspends only the specified jobs. Jobs submitted by any user can be specified here without using the -u option.

-h

Prints command usage to stderr and exits.

-V

Prints LSF release version to stderr and exits.

EXAMPLES

% bstop 314

Suspends job number 314.

% bstop -m hostA 

Suspends the invoker's last job that was dispatched to host hostA.

% bstop -u jsmith 0

Suspends all the jobs submitted by user jsmith.

% bstop -u all 

Suspends the last submitted job in the LSF system.

% bstop -u all 0 

Suspends all jobs for all users in the LSF system.
