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       slightly  out  of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a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