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.
arcsync1
Arc synchronize
Overview
Usage:
-
arcsync [OPTION...]
The arcsync command synchronizes your local job list with the information at the given CEs or registry servers.
Target endpoint selection:
-
-C, --computing-element=ce -
computing element hostname or a complete endpoint URL
-
-Y, --registry=registry -
registry service URL with optional specification of protocol
Behaviour tuning:
-
-f, --force -
do not ask for verification
-
-T, --truncate -
truncate the joblist before synchronizing
-
-j, --joblist=filename -
the file storing information about active jobs (default /build/reproducible-path/nordugrid-arc-7.0.0/debian/.debhelper/generated/_source/home/.arc/jobs.dat)
-
--no-authentication -
do not perform any authentication for opened connections
-
--x509-authentication -
perform X.509 authentication for opened connections
-
--token-authentication -
perform token authentication for opened connections
-
--systemca -
force using CA certificates configuration provided by OpenSSL
-
--gridca -
force using CA certificates configuration for Grid services (typically IGTF)
Other actions:
-
--convert -
do not collect information, only convert jobs storage format
-
-P, --listplugins -
list the available plugins
Application Options:
-
-h, --help -
Show help options
-
-z, --conffile=filename -
configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)
-
-t, --timeout=seconds -
timeout in seconds (default 20)
-
-d, --debug=debuglevel -
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG
-
-v, --version -
print version information
Extended description
The ARC CLI keeps a local database 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 at the specified computing element or registry.
Since the information about a job retrieved from a CE can be slightly out of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a job a warning is issued when this command is run.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.
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 cleaned of old jobs and then the new jobs will be added.
Files
-
~/.arc/jobs.dat -
This a local database of the user's active jobs. When a job is successfully submitted it is added to database and when it is removed from the remote CE it is removed from this list. This database is used as the list of all active jobs when the user specifies the
--alloption to the various NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the--joblistoption a different file can be used than the default.
