LSF - bsoft
“bsoft” is a Linux command to help users on Emerald find out what software is available on Emerald that will generate a bsub submission to invoke the software in LSF. These are scripts that generate a bsub submission for you to run the software in LSF. For example, the script “xsas” generates the “bsub” submission:
bsub -R RH4 -q int -Ip /afs/isis/pkg/sas/sas
So, invoking the interactive version of SAS is made simpler.
To learn more about how to invoke mathematical and statistical software on Emerald check out the Mathematical and Statistical Software Application Notes page.
$ bsoft [-h | --help] [-b] [-x] [-i]
-b
To list all the software packages that will generate batch submissions use the “-b” option:
$ bsoft -b
-x
To list all the software packages that will generate interactive submissions for a graphical user interface (GUI) of the software (which requires your computer to be running an Xserver) use the “-x” option:
$ bsoft -x
-i
To list all the software packages that will generate interactive submissions for a console mode interface of the software use the -i option:
$ bsoft -i
