Use coherent units and unit abbreviations for memory sizes in `bjobs -o` output

bjobs -o "max_mem memlimit" creates a hard-to-parse-and-process output because it a) doesn't respect LSF_UNIT_FOR_LIMITS for the numbers b) uses different units for the numbers c) uses different abbreviations for the same unit ("Gbytes" vs. "G") T...

Improve Job Priority Output to Exceed 1e6 as APS can easily increase Per Job Priority above that value

There is currently a system limitation that Job Priories above 1e6 do not display correctly when using bjobs -o "blah" formatted output. This is currently causing us a monitoring issue when attempting to order jobs with a very high dynamic priorit...

expansion of bhosts -o

Being able to see the currently available and reserved memory values for a host[group] requires a 'bhosts -l' report. It would be very nice to report something like: $ bhosts -o 'HOST_NAME mem mem_reserved' [host_name ... | host_group ... | comput...
