Thread: Source for LSF commands

For those of you who like to customize the LSF user experience, did you realize that you can download the source code for the LSF command line tools?

Visit this link, and download the lsf7Update3_open_source.tar. This file contains source code for the commands you know and love, such as bsub, bjobs, bhosts, etc. If you ever wondered how to make use of the LSF APIs, these are a very good reference (I use them often myself).

This package does not contain make file and libraries to compile on windows. Is it possible to put them in to the package?

Hi Vitali,

Here's the message from the LSF guys;

Our opensource package only has support for Linux and Solaris.

Like 99.99% of open source packages - if you want them to work on windows, you have to do some of the lifting yourself.

The libraries in the package are for folks who do not have lsf installed, so Vitali should already have the necessary windows libraries, and only need construct an appropriate makefile

You're on your own for the Makefiles, but the libraries should be in the LSF binary packages.

I see. No easy life.... Thanks.
