EXTENDED DESCRIPTION¶
The ARC user interface keeps a local list of active jobs in the users home
directory (see
arcsub(1)). If this file is lost, or the user wants to
recreate the file on a different computer,the
arcsync command can be
used to recreate the file from the information available the specified cluster
or index server.
Since the information about a job retrieved from a cluster can be slightly out
of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a job a warning is
issued when this command is run. The
--force option disables this
warning.
The
--cluster options can be used to select or reject clusters that
should be considered in the synchronization. This options can be repeated
several times. See
arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format of
arguments to this option.
If the joblist is not empty when invoking synchronization the old jobs will be
merged with the new jobs, unless the
--truncate option is given, in
which case the joblist will first be cleaned of old jobs and then the new jobs
will be added.
FILES¶
- ~/.arc/client.conf
- Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC
client configuration file. By using the --conffile option a
different configuration file can be used than the default.
- ~/.arc/jobs.xml
- This is a local list of the user's active jobs. When a job is successfully
submitted it is added to this list and when it is removed from the remote
cluster it is removed from this list. This list is used as the list of all
active jobs when the user specifies the --all option to the various
NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the --joblist
option a different file can be used than the default.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES¶
- X509_USER_PROXY
- The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set unless the
proxy is in a non-standard location.
- ARC_LOCATION
- The location where ARC is installed can be specified by this variable. If
not specified the install location will be determined from the path to the
command being executed, and if this fails a WARNING will be given stating
the location which will be used.
- ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
- The location of ARC plugins can be specified by this variable. Multiple
locations can be specified by separating them by : (; in Windows). The
default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in Windows).
