arcsync - ARC Synchronize
The arcsync command synchronizes your local jobs list with
the information at a given cluster or index server.
- -c,
--cluster=name
- select one or more computing elements: name can be an alias for a
single CE, a group of CEs or a URL
- -g,
--index=name
- select one or more registries: name can be an alias for a single
registry, a group of registries or a URL
- -j,
--joblist=filename
- the file storing information about active jobs (default
~/.arc/jobs.xml)
- -f, --force
- don't ask for verification
- -T,
--truncate
- shrinks the joblist before synchronizing
- -C, --convert
- instead of pulling jobs information from server read it from jobs storage
and write it back. This option is mostly for converting format of jobs
storage file.
- -P,
--listplugins
- list the available plugins
- -t,
--timeout=seconds
- timeout in seconds (default 20)
- -z,
--conffile=filename
- configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)
- -d,
--debug=debuglevel
- FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG
- -v, --version
- print version information
- -?, --help
- print help
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slightly out of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a job a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.
- ~/.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.
- 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).
