-
-g, --index=name
- select one or more registries: name can be an alias
for a single registry, a group of registries or a URL
-
-j, --joblist=filename
- the file storing information about active jobs (default

-
-f, --force
- don't ask for verification
-
-T, --truncate

-
-P, --listplugins
- list the available plugins
-
-t, --timeout=seconds
- timeout in seconds (default 20)
-
-z, --conffile=filename
- configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)

The ARC user interface keeps a local list of active jobs in the users home
directory (see
arcsub(1)). If this file is lost, or the user wants to
recreate the file on a different computer,the
arcsync command can be
used to recreate the file from the information available the specified cluster
or index server.
Since the information about a job retrieved from a cluster can be slightly out
of date if the user very recently submitted or removed a job a warning is
issued when this command is run. The
--force option disables this
warning.
The
--cluster options can be used to select or reject clusters that
should be considered in the synchronization. This options can be repeated
several times. See
arcsub(1) for a discussion of the format of
arguments to this option.
If the joblist is not empty when invoking synchronization the old jobs will be
merged with the new jobs, unless the
--truncate option is given, in
which case the joblist will first be cleaned of old jobs and then the new jobs
will be added.
- ~/.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.xml
- This is a local list of the user's active jobs. When a job
is successfully submitted it is added to this list and when it is removed
from the remote cluster it is removed from this list. This list 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.
- X509_USER_PROXY
- The location of the user's Grid proxy file. Shouldn't be
set unless the proxy is in a non-standard location.
- ARC_LOCATION
- The location where ARC is installed can be specified by
this variable. If not specified the install location will be determined
from the path to the command being executed, and if this fails a WARNING
will be given stating the location which will be used.
- ARC_PLUGIN_PATH
- The location of ARC plugins can be specified by this
variable. Multiple locations can be specified by separating them by : (;
in Windows). The default location is $ARC_LOCATION/lib/arc (\ in
Windows).
