EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
The arccat command displays the stdout or stderr of running jobs. It
can also display the grid manager’s error log of a job. The job can be
referred to either by the jobid that was returned by arcsub(1) at
submission time or by its jobname if the job description that was
submitted contained a jobname attribute.
More than one jobid and/or jobname can be given. If several jobs were
submitted with the same jobname the stdout, stderr or grid manager
error log of all those jobs are shown. If the --joblist option is used
the list of jobs is read from a file with the specified filename. By
specifying the --all option, the stdout, stderr or grid manager error
log of all active jobs will be shown.
The --cluster option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific
clusters. See arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format of arguments to
this option. The --status option can be used to select jobs in a
specific state. These options can be repeated several times.
Only jobs where the stdout or stderr argument was given in the job
description can display the contents of those files.
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 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).
