Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC client configuration file. By using the --conffile option a different configuration file can be used than the default.
arccat1
Arc catenate
Overview
Usage:
-
arccat [OPTION...] [job ...]
The arccat command performs the cat command on the stdout, stderr or grid manager's error log of the job.
Brokering and filtering:
-
-C, --computing-element=ce -
only select jobs that were submitted to this computing element
-
-s, --status=statusstr -
only select jobs whose status is statusstr
-
-a, --all -
all jobs
-
-r, --rejectmanagement=URL -
skip jobs that are on a computing element with a given URL
Behaviour tuning:
-
-i, --jobids-from-file=filename -
a file containing a list of jobIDs
-
-j, --joblist=filename -
the file storing information about active jobs (default /build/reproducible-path/nordugrid-arc-7.0.0/debian/.debhelper/generated/_source/home/.arc/jobs.dat)
-
--no-authentication -
do not perform any authentication for opened connections
-
--x509-authentication -
perform X.509 authentication for opened connections
-
--token-authentication -
perform token authentication for opened connections
-
--systemca -
force using CA certificates configuration provided by OpenSSL
-
--gridca -
force using CA certificates configuration for Grid services (typically IGTF)
Other actions:
-
-o, --stdout -
show the stdout of the job (default)
-
-e, --stderr -
show the stderr of the job
-
-l, --joblog -
show the CE's error log of the job
-
-f, --file=filepath -
show the specified file from job's session directory
-
-P, --listplugins -
list the available plugins
Application Options:
-
-h, --help -
Show help options
-
-z, --conffile=filename -
configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)
-
-t, --timeout=seconds -
timeout in seconds (default 20)
-
-d, --debug=debuglevel -
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG
-
-v, --version -
print version information
Extended description
The arccat command displays the stdout or stderr of running jobs. It can also display A-REX's error log of a job. The job can be referred to either by the jobid that was returned by arcsub(1) at submission time or by its jobname if the job description that was submitted contained a jobname attribute.
More than one jobid and/or jobname can be given. If several jobs were submitted with the same jobname the stdout, stderr or A-REX error log of all those jobs are shown. If the --joblist option is used the list of jobs is read from a file with the specified filename. By specifying the --all option, the stdout, stderr or A-REX error log of all active jobs will be shown.
The --computing-element option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific CEs. The --status option can be used to select jobs in a specific state. These options can be repeated several times. See arstat(1) for possible state values.
Only jobs where the stdout or stderr argument was given in the job description can display the contents of those files.
Files
-
~/.arc/jobs.dat -
This a local database of the user's active jobs. When a job is successfully submitted it is added to database and when it is removed from the remote CE it is removed from this list. This database is used as the list of all active jobs when the user specifies the
--alloption to the various NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the--joblistoption a different file can be used than the default.
