ARGUMENTS

       ctrl_dir
               The A-REX control directory for a mapped local UNIX user

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       Normally,  jura  is invoked by A-REX periodically with the appropriate command line arguments, but it can
       also be executed interactively.

       Job log files, i.e. files produced by A-REX for each job and stored under <ctrl_dir>/logs contain various
       usage data and configuration options for accounting (see NORDUGRID-TECH-24 for details of their content).
       These files are parsed by jura,  converted  into  UR  format,  and  submitted  in  batches  to  reporting
       destinations.  A destination is a resource usage logging service; currently SGAS LUTS and CAR 1.2 message
       propagation are supported.  Job log files older than the expiration time specified with the -E option are
       deleted without parsing.

       If the -u option is absent, URs are submitted to the destination URLs specified in the job log files.  If
       submitting  succeeds, the corresponding job log files are deleted. This is the default, automatic mode of
       operation.

       If destination URLs are specified with the -u option, URs are submitted only to these  destinations  (one
       UR per job to each destination). In this case, job log files are preserved even if submitting succeeds.

       If  the  -r  option  is absent, <ctrl_dir> parameter be using as location of archived files, URs from the
       given directory are submitted to the destination URLs specified with -u option in the CLI.

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       X509_USER_CERT
              The location of the certificate of the reporting entity, used only if not  specified  in  job  log
              files. The default is the standard host certificate location, /etc/grid-security/hostcert.pem.

       X509_USER_KEY
              The  location  of  the  private key of the reporting entity, used only if not specified in job log

       X509_CERT_DIR
              The path to the certificates of trusted CAs, used only if not specified  in  job  log  files.  The

       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
