NAME

       jura - Job Usage Reporter of ARC

DESCRIPTION

       The  jura  application  is  a  resource-side accounting (usage logging)
       client.

SYNOPSIS

       jura [-E exp_time] [-u url [-u url ...] ] ctrl_dir [ctrl_dir ...]

OPTIONS

       -E     expiration time (validity length) of job log files in days

       -u     logging destination URL

ARGUMENTS

       ctrl_dir
               The A-REX control directory for a mapped local UNIX user

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       Normally, jura is invoked by A-REX periodically  with  the  appropriate
       command line arguments, but it can also be executed interactively.

       Job  log  files,  i.e.  files produced by A-REX for each job and stored
       under <ctrl_dir>/logs contain  various  usage  data  and  configuration
       options  for  accounting  (see  NORDUGRID-TECH-24  for details of their
       content). These files are parsed by jura, converted into UR format, and
       submitted  in  batches  to  reporting  destinations. A destination is a
       resource usage logging service; currently SGAS LUTS is  supported.  Job
       log  files  older than the expiration time specified with the -E option
       are deleted without parsing.

       If the -u option is absent, URs are submitted to the  destination  URLs
       specified   in   the   job  log  files.  If  submitting  succeeds,  the
       corresponding job log files are deleted. This is the default, automatic
       mode of operation.

       If destination URLs are specified with the -u option, URs are submitted
       only to these destinations (one UR per job  to  each  destination).  In
       this case, job log files are preserved even if submitting succeeds.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       X509_USER_CERT
              The  location  of  the certificate of the reporting entity, used
              only if not specified in job  log  files.  The  default  is  the
              standard      host      certificate     location,     /etc/grid-
              security/hostcert.pem.

       X509_USER_KEY
              The location of the private key of the  reporting  entity,  used
              only  if  not  specified  in  job  log files. The default is the
              standard host key location, /etc/grid-security/hostkey.pem.

       X509_CERT_DIR
              The path to the certificates of trusted CAs, used  only  if  not
              specified  in  job  log  files.  The  default  is  the  standard
              certificates directory, /etc/grid-security/certificates.

       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).
