11       client.

SYNOPSIS

15       jura [-E exp_time] [-u url [-u url -t topic  -u  url  ...]  ]  ctrl_dir
16       [ctrl_dir ...]
17

OPTIONS

20       -E     expiration time (validity length) of job log files in days
21
22       -u     logging destination URL
23
24       -t     topic for a destination URL
25
26       -o     aggregated Apel accounting records directory

ARGUMENTS

29       ctrl_dir
30               The A-REX control directory for a mapped local UNIX user
31

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

33       Normally,  jura  is  invoked by A-REX periodically with the appropriate
34       command line arguments, but it can also be executed interactively.
35
36       Job log files, i.e. files produced by A-REX for  each  job  and  stored
37       under  <ctrl_dir>/logs  contain  various  usage  data and configuration
38       options for accounting (see NORDUGRID-TECH-24 for details of their con‐
39       tent).  These  files  are parsed by jura, converted into UR format, and
40       submitted in batches to reporting  destinations.  A  destination  is  a
41       resource  usage  logging service; currently SGAS LUTS is supported. Job
42       log files older than the expiration time specified with the  -E  option
43       are deleted without parsing.
44
45       If  the  -u option is absent, URs are submitted to the destination URLs
46       specified in the job log files. If submitting succeeds, the correspond‐
47       ing  job  log files are deleted. This is the default, automatic mode of
48       operation.
49
50       If destination URLs are specified with the -u option, URs are submitted
51       only  to  these  destinations  (one UR per job to each destination). In
52       this case, job log files are preserved even if submitting succeeds.

56       X509_USER_CERT
57              The location of the certificate of the  reporting  entity,  used
58              only if not specified in job log files. The default is the stan‐
59              dard host certificate location, /etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem.

77              mined from the path to the command being executed, and  if  this
78              fails a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be
