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slightly out of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a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 truncated 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).
