HFSS15: Monitoring ANSYS EM LSF Batch Jobs

The LSF bpeek command may be used to monitor LSF batch jobs, if the Desktop command line for the job includes the -monitor command line option.

Ansoft Desktop -monitor Command Line Option

The Ansoft -monitor command line option enables batch job output to the standard output and standard error streams. The warning, info, and progress messages are sent to the standard output stream. The error and fatal messages are sent to the standard error stream.

LSF bpeek Command

The LSF bpeek command may be used to monitor job progress. The command pbeek [ -f ] job_id displays the standard output and standard error produced by the job with id job_id from the job start to the current time (the time when the command is executed). This command is only valid for jobs that have not yet finished. When used with the -f option on Linux, the output of the job is displayed using the command tail -f, so that ongoing progress may be monitored.

In order to display messages to standard output and standard error, specify the -monitor command line option on the ANSYS EM tool command line. Then, these messages can be seen using the LSF bpeek command.
