EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       The arctest command is used for basic  testing  of  ARC  client  and  server  installation
       through  submitting  various  test  jobs. It can also print basic information about user's
       certificate. The command is complementary to arcinfo and arcproxy -I

       The test jobs available in this version of arctest are:

       Test job 1: This test-job calculates prime-numbers for a number of  minutes  given  by  -r
       (default  5) and outputs the list to stderr. The source-code for the prime-number program,
       the Makefile and the executable are downloaded to the cluster from HTTP  and  FTP  servers
       and the program is compiled before running. In this way, the test job constitutes a fairly
       comprehensive test of the basic setup of a grid cluster.

       Test job 2: attempts to list all environment variables at the remote site

       Test job 3: copies a remote file from an HTTP server into a local file

EXAMPLES

       arctest -J 1 -c <clustername>

       will submit test job number 1 to the specified cluster belonging to the flavor of it.

       arctest --certificate

       will print basic information about the user's certificate.
