32 org.ogf.bes)
33 -I, --infointerface=InterfaceName

44 test job runtime specified in case of the 1st test job.
45 -j, --joblist=filename

48 ~/.arc/jobs.xml)
49 -o, --jobids-to-file=filename
51 the IDs of the submitted jobs will be appended to this file
52 -D, --dryrun

88 The arctest command is used for basic testing of ARC client and server
89 installation through submitting various test jobs. It can also print
90 basic information about user's certificate. The command is complemen‐
91 tary to arcinfo and arcproxy -I
92 The test jobs available in this version of arctest are:
94 Test job 1: This test-job calculates prime-numbers for a number of min‐
96 utes given by -r (default 5) and outputs the list to stderr. The
97 source-code for the prime-number program, the Makefile and the exe‐
98 cutable are downloaded to the cluster from HTTP and FTP servers and the
99 program is compiled before running. In this way, the test job consti‐
100 tutes a fairly comprehensive test of the basic setup of a grid cluster.
101 Test job 2: attempts to list all environment variables at the remote
103 site
104 Test job 3: copies a remote file from an HTTP server into a local file
106
109 arctest -J 1 -c <clustername>
110 will submit test job number 1 to the specified cluster belonging to the
112 flavor of it.
113 arctest --certificate
115 will print basic information about the user's certificate.
