NAME

arcget - ARC Get

DESCRIPTION

Usage:

arcget [OPTION...] [job ...]

The arcget command is used for retrieving the results from a job.

Brokering and filtering:

only select jobs that were submitted to this computing element
only select jobs whose status is statusstr
all jobs
skip jobs that are on a computing element with a given URL

Behaviour tuning:

keep the files on the server (do not clean)
download directory (the job directory will be created in this directory)
use the jobname instead of the short ID as the job directory name
force download (overwrite existing job directory)
a file containing a list of jobIDs
the file storing information about active jobs (default /build/nordugrid-arc-7.0.0/debian/.debhelper/generated/_source/home/.arc/jobs.dat)
do not perform any authentication for opened connections
perform X.509 authentication for opened connections
perform token authentication for opened connections
force using CA certificates configuration provided by OpenSSL
force using CA certificates configuration for Grid services (typically IGTF)

Other actions:

list the available plugins

Application Options:

Show help options
configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)
timeout in seconds (default 20)
FATAL, ERROR, WARNING, INFO, VERBOSE or DEBUG
print version information

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

The arcget command downloads the results after a job has completed on the computing element. Only the results of jobs that have finished can be downloaded. 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 results of all those jobs are downloaded. 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 results of all active jobs are downloaded.

The --compute-element option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific clusters. See arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format of arguments to this option. 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.

For each job that is downloaded a subdirectory will be created in the download directory that will contain the downloaded files.

If the download was successful the job will be removed from the remote cluster unless the --keep option was specified.

FILES

~/.arc/client.conf
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.

~/.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 --all option to the various NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the --joblist option a different file can be used than the default.
