EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

61       The  ARC  user interface keeps a local list of active jobs in the users
62       home directory (see arcsub(1)). If this file is lost, or the user wants
63       to recreate the file on a different computer,the arcsync command can be
64       used to recreate the file from the information available the  specified
65       cluster or index server.
66
67       Since  the  information  about  a  job  retrieved from a cluster can be
68       slightly out of date if the user very recently submitted or  removed  a
69       job  a  warning  is issued when this command is run. The --force option
70       disables this warning.
71
72       The --cluster options can be used to select  or  reject  clusters  that
73       should  be  considered  in  the  synchronization.  This  options can be
74       repeated several times.  See arcsub(1) for a discussion of  the  format
75       of arguments to this option.
76
77       If  the joblist is not empty when invoking synchronization the old jobs
78       will be merged with the new  jobs,  unless  the  --truncate  option  is
79       given,  in which case the joblist will first be cleaned of old jobs and
80       then the new jobs will be added.

FILES

84       ~/.arc/client.conf
85              Some options can be given default values by specifying  them  in
86              the  ARC  client  configuration  file.  By  using the --conffile
87              option a different configuration  file  can  be  used  than  the
88              default.
89
90
91       ~/.arc/jobs.xml
92              This  is  a  local list of the user's active jobs. When a job is
93              successfully submitted it is added to this list and when  it  is
94              removed  from  the  remote cluster it is removed from this list.
95              This list is used as the list of all active jobs when  the  user
96              specifies  the  --all  option  to the various NorduGrid ARC user
97              interface commands. By using the --joblist  option  a  different
98              file can be used than the default.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

102       X509_USER_PROXY
103              The  location  of  the  user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set
104              unless the proxy is in a non-standard location.
105
106
107       ARC_LOCATION
108              The location where ARC is installed can  be  specified  by  this
109              variable.  If  not specified the install location will be deter‐
110              mined from the path to the command being executed, and  if  this
111              fails a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be
112              used.
113
114
115       ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
116              The location of ARC plugins can be specified by  this  variable.
117              Multiple  locations  can be specified by separating them by : (;
118              in Windows). The default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in
119              Windows).
