EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

75       The  arcget  command downloads the results after a job has completed on
76       an grid enabled computing resource. Only the results of jobs that  have
77       finished  can  be  downloaded. The job can be referred to either by the
78       jobid that was returned by arcsub(1) at submission time or by its  job‐
79       name  if the job description that was submitted contained a jobname at‐
80       tribute.
81
82       More than one jobid and/or jobname can be given. If several  jobs  were
83       submitted with the same jobname the results of all those jobs are down‐
84       loaded. If the --joblist option is used the list of jobs is read from a
85       file  with  the specified filename. By specifying the --all option, the
86       results of all active jobs are downloaded.
87
88       The --cluster option can be used to select or reject jobs  at  specific
89       clusters.  See arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format of arguments to
90       this option. The --status option can be used to select jobs in  a  spe‐
91       cific state. These options can be repeated several times. See arstat(1)
92       for possible state values.
93
94       For each job that is downloaded a subdirectory will be created  in  the
95       download directory that will contain the downloaded files.
96
97       If  the download was successful the job will be removed from the remote
98       cluster unless the --keep option was specified.

FILES

102       ~/.arc/client.conf
103              Some options can be given default values by specifying  them  in
104              the  ARC  client configuration file. By using the --conffile op‐
105              tion a different configuration file can be  used  than  the  de‐
106              fault.
107
108
109       ~/.arc/jobs.xml
110              This  a local list of the user's active jobs. When a job is suc‐
111              cessfully submitted it is added to this list and when it is  re‐
112              moved from the remote cluster it is removed from this list. This
113              list is used as the list of all active jobs when the user speci‐
114              fies  the  --all option to the various NorduGrid ARC user inter‐
115              face commands. By using the --joblist option  a  different  file
116              can be used than the default.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

120       X509_USER_PROXY
121              The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be set un‐
122              less the proxy is in a non-standard location.
123
124
125       ARC_LOCATION
126              The location where ARC is installed can  be  specified  by  this
127              variable.  If  not specified the install location will be deter‐
128              mined from the path to the command being executed, and  if  this
129              fails a WARNING will be given stating the location which will be
130              used.
131
132
133       ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
134              The location of ARC plugins can be specified by  this  variable.
135              Multiple  locations  can be specified by separating them by : (;
136              in Windows). The default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in
137              Windows).
