56 The ARC user interface keeps a local list of active jobs in the users
57 home directory (see arcsub(1)). If this file is lost, or the user wants
58 to recreate the file on a different computer,the arcsync command can be
59 used to recreate the file from the information available the specified
60 cluster or index server.
61 Since the information about a job retrieved from a cluster can be
63 slightly out of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a
64 job a warning is issued when this command is run. The --force option
65 disables this warning.
66 The --cluster options can be used to select or reject clusters that
68 should be considered in the synchronization. This options can be
69 repeated several times. See arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format
70 of arguments to this option.
71 If the joblist is not empty when invoking synchronization the old jobs
73 will be merged with the new jobs, unless the --truncate option is
74 given, in which case the joblist will first be cleaned of old jobs and
75 then the new jobs will be added.
76
79 ~/.arc/client.conf
80 Some options can be given default values by specifying them in
81 the ARC client configuration file. By using the --conffile
82 option a different configuration file can be used than the
83 default.
84 ~/.arc/jobs.xml
87 This is a local list of the user's active jobs. When a job is
88 successfully submitted it is added to this list and when it is
89 removed from the remote cluster it is removed from this list.
90 This list is used as the list of all active jobs when the user
91 specifies the --all option to the various NorduGrid ARC user
92 interface commands. By using the --joblist option a different
93 file can be used than the default.
94
97 X509_USER_PROXY
98 The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set
99 unless the proxy is in a non-standard location.
100 ARC_LOCATION
103 The location where ARC is installed can be specified by this
104 variable. If not specified the install location will be deter‐
105 mined from the path to the command being executed, and if this
106 fails a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be
107 used.
108 ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
111 The location of ARC plugins can be specified by this variable.
112 Multiple locations can be specified by separating them by : (;
113 in Windows). The default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in
114 Windows).
