My LSF (batch) run seemed to run to completion, but I never received the usual e-mail message notifying me that the job had finished. What is the problem?
At the end of an LSF run the user is automatically sent e-mail to indicate that the job has completed. This e-mail contains everything that was written to standard out during the run. If a large amount of information (greater than 10MB) is written to standard out, the e-mail becomes too large for the mail system to process, and the e-mail is not sent. This sometimes occurs when the user forgets to delete a large number of diagnostic print statements from a run. The best solution is to always re-direct standard out to a file (e.g., myrun > myoutput).
