title: Best practice for submitting long commands to LSF
body: <p>I'm submitting jobs to a cluster using <code>bsub</code> in LSF. My command calls third party software and contains a long list of files, along with other arguments (around 8000 characters). </p>
  
  <p>Is it safe to submit such long commands directly or will they get truncated? Should I be saving the command to file then calling <code>bsub sh command.sh</code>?</p>
  
  <p>What is the best practice for submitting such long commands.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
