Programs in xterm job retain jobid after xterm window closes.


Technote (FAQ)


Question

You submit an xterm interactive job using the command "bsub -I -m host_name xterm." After you start a program in the xterm window, you close the xterm window and find that the job res process exits. You want to know if the programs run in xterm can still be controlled through LSF.

Answer

The purpose of the job res is to manage an LSF job and exit once the job completes. An xterm window is treated like a normal LSF job and the same applies when it exits. This will not affect the ability to control the programs started in the xterm window through LSF commands like bjobs -l <jobid> as they will remain under the same jobid of the xterm job.
