Displays pending jobs, together with the pending reasons that caused each job not to be dispatched during the last dispatch turn.
state
The pending reason shows the number of hosts for that reason, or names the hosts if -l is also specified.
With MultiCluster, -l shows the names of hosts in the local cluster.
Each pending reason is associated with one or more hosts and it states the cause why these hosts are not allocated to run the job. In situations where the job requests specific hosts (using bsub -m), users may see reasons for unrelated hosts also being displayed, together with the reasons associated with the requested hosts.
In case of host-based pre-execution failure, pending reasons will be displayed.
The life cycle of a pending reason ends after the time indicated by PEND_REASON_UPDATE_INTERVAL in lsb.params.
When the job slot limit is reached for a job array (bsub -J "jobArray[indexList]%job_slot_limit") the following message is displayed:
The job array has reached its job slot limit.
bjobs -pl
Displays detailed information about all pending jobs of the invoker.
bjobs -ps
