+    use_stdin : bool
+        LSF's ``bsub`` command allows us to launch a job by passing it as an
+        argument (``bsub /tmp/jobscript.sh``) or feeding it to stdin
+        (``bsub < /tmp/jobscript.sh``).  Depending on your cluster's configuration
+        and/or shared filesystem setup, one of those methods may not work,
+        forcing you to use the other one.  This option controls which method
+        ``dask-jobqueue`` will use to submit jobs via ``bsub``.
+
+        In particular, if your cluster fails to launch and the LSF log contains
+        an error message similar to the following:
+
+        .. code-block::
+
+            /home/someuser/.lsbatch/1571869562.66512066: line 8: /tmp/tmpva_yau8m.sh: No such file or directory
