Readme file for IBM® Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 601318

Abstract

P104747. This fix ensures that the mbatchd daemon correctly logs an event file, even if the LSB_CONTAINER_IMAGE environment variable value contains a line break.

Description

Readme documentation for IBM Spectrum LSF 10.1 Fix 601318 including installation-related instructions, prerequisites and co-requisites, and list of fixes.

This fix addresses the following issue:

If the LSB_CONTAINER_IMAGE environment variable value contains a line break, the  mbatchd daemon logs the value directly into the event file , which causes the bhist command and the mbatchd daemon to be unable to read the event record.
