NAME

       jura - Job Usage Reporter of ARC

DESCRIPTION

       The jura application is a resource-side accounting (usage logging) client.

SYNOPSIS

       jura [-E exp_time] [-u url [-u url -t topic -u url ...] ] ctrl_dir [ctrl_dir ...]

OPTIONS

       -E     expiration time (validity length) of job log files in days

       -u     logging destination URL

       -t     topic for a destination URL

       -o     aggregated Apel accounting records directory

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 1.0 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.

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  files.  The  default  is  the  standard host key location, /etc/grid-
              security/hostkey.pem.

       X509_CERT_DIR
              The path to the certificates of trusted CAs, used only if not specified in job  log
              files.   The   default   is   the   standard   certificates  directory,  /etc/grid-
              security/certificates.

       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).
