btop, bbot - move a pending job to the top (beginning) or bottom (end) of its queue
btop [ -h ] [ -V ] jobId [ position ]
bbot [ -h ] [ -V ] jobId [ position ]
Change the queuing position of a pending job to affect the job dispatching order of lsbatch. By default, lsbatch dispatches jobs in a queue in the order of their arrival (that is, first-come-first-served), subject to the availability of suitable server hosts. These two commands allow users and the LSF administrator to change this order manually. Users can only operate on their own jobs, whereas the LSF administrator can operate on any user's jobs.
If invoked by a normal user, btop (or bbot) moves the selected job to before the first job submitted by this user to this queue. (or after the last job submitted by this user to this queue.) A user can change only the relative positions of their own jobs. If invoked by the LSF administrator, btop (bbot) moves the selected job to the beginning (end) of the queue. The positions of all users' jobs in the queue can be changed by the LSF administrator. Pending jobs are displayed by bjobs(1) in the order in which they will be considered for dispatch.
Optionally, a position argument can be given to specify where in the queue the job is to be placed. position is a positive number that indicates the target position of the job from either the beginning (for btop) or the end (for bbot) of the queue. The positions are relative to only the applicable jobs in the queue, depending on whether the invoker is an ordinary user or the LSF administrator. The value 1 means before/after all the other jobs. This is the default.
