       arcsync - ARC Synchronize

DESCRIPTION

   Usage:
              arcsync [OPTION...]

       The  arcsync  command  synchronizes your local job list with the information at the given CEs or registry
       servers.

   Target endpoint selection:
       -C, --computing-element=ce
              computing element hostname or a complete endpoint URL

       -Y, --registry=registry
              registry service URL with optional specification of protocol

   Behaviour tuning:
       -f, --force
              do not ask for verification

       -T, --truncate
              truncate the joblist before synchronizing

       -j, --joblist=filename
              the       file       storing       information       about       active       jobs        (default
              /build/nordugrid-arc-eNgFxJ/nordugrid-arc-7.1.1/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)

       --anyca
              force  using  CA certificates configuration for Grid services (typically IGTF) and one provided by
              OpenSSL

   Other actions:
       --convert
              do not collect information, only convert jobs storage format

       -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 ARC CLI keeps a local database 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 at the specified computing element or registry.

       Since the information about a job retrieved from a CE 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.

       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.

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.
