DESCRIPTION

     scriptingclient is a Reliable Server Pooling (RSerPool) pool user (PU)
     for the scripting service. The purpose of this service is to distribute
     input data to a scripting PE, execute a script doing some useful work on
     the input data and returning output data. For example, this service can
     be used for distributed simulation processing.

ARGUMENTS

     The following options are available:

     -poolhandle=pool_handle
             Sets the PH to a non-default value; otherwise, the default
             setting is "ScriptingPool".

     Service Parameters:

             -input=file_name
                     Sets the name of the input file to upload to the PE.

             -output=file_name
                     Sets the name of the output file to write the download
                     from the PE to.

             -quiet  Turns on quiet mode, i.e. only few information is
                     printed.

             -maxretry=trials
                     Maximum number of retries upon errors on the remote site.
                     The error counter only increments when the remote-side
                     script returns a non-zero error code. When the error
                     limit is reached, the received output file will be
                     downloaded for debugging purposes.

             -retrydelay=milliseconds
                     Sets the retry delay upon failover in milliseconds.

             -runid=description
                     Add the given description to all log lines of the
                     scripting service PU operation. This can be useful when
                     multiple PUs are running simultaneously.

             -transmittimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the transmission timeout in milliseconds.

             -keepaliveinterval=milliseconds
                     Sets the keep-alive interval in milliseconds.

             -keepalivetimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the keep-alive timeout in milliseconds.

     ASAP Protocol Parameters:

             -registrar=address:port
                     Adds a static PR entry into the Registrar Table.  It is
                     possible to add multiple entries.

             -registrarannouncetimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for ASAP announces via multicast.

             -registrarconnecttimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for ASAP connection establishment.

             -registrarconnectmaxtrials=trials
                     Sets the maximum number of ASAP connection establishment
                     trials.

             -registrarrequesttimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for ASAP requests.

             -registrarresponsetimeout=milliseconds
                     Sets the timeout for waiting to receive ASAP responses.

             -registrarrequestmaxtrials=trials
                     Sets the maximum number of ASAP request trials.

     Component Status Protocol (CSP) Parameters:

             -cspinterval=milliseconds
                     Sets the interval for the CSP status updates in
                     milliseconds. By default, the content of the environment
                     variable CSP_INTERVAL is used. If not defined, no CSP
                     status reports will be sent.

             -cspserver=address:port
                     Sets the address of a CSP monitor server. By default, the
                     content of the environment variable CSP_SERVER is used.
                     If not defined, no CSP status reports will be sent.

     Logging Parameters:

             -logappend=filename
                     Write logging output to a file (default is stdout);
                     output will be appended to given file.

             -logcolor=on|off
                     Turns ANSI colorization of the logging output on or off.

             -logfile=filename
                     Write logging output to a file (default is stdout); given
                     file will be overwritten.

             -loglevel=0-9
                     Sets the logging verbosity from 0 (none) to 9 (very
                     verbose).  It is recommended to use at least a value of 2
                     to see possibly important error messages and warnings.

ENVIRONMENT

     scriptingclient uses the environment variables CSP_SERVER and
     CSP_INTERVAL to define a CSP server to send reports to in the specified
     interval.

DIAGNOSTICS

     If loglevel>0, log messages will be printed to stdout or into a specified
     log file.
