EXTENDED DESCRIPTION
The arckill command kills a running job on an ARC enabled resource. The job can be referred to either by
the jobid that was returned by arcsub(1) at submission time or by its jobname if the job description that
was submitted contained a jobname attribute.
More than one jobid and/or jobname can be given. If several jobs were submitted with the same jobname all
those jobs are killed. If the --joblist option is used the list of jobs is read from a file with the
specified filename. By specifying the --all option, all jobs can be killed.
The --cluster option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific clusters. See arcsub(1) for a
discussion of the format of arguments to this option. The --status option can be used to select jobs in a
specific state. These options can be repeated several times. See arstat(1) for possible state values.
If the job was successfully killed the attepmt to remove the job from the remote cluster will be made
unless the --keep option was specified. Depending on functionality of service job killing procedure may
take time and it may be impossible to clean job immediately. In that case arckill will report number of
cleaned jobs smaller than processed ones. Cleaning of leftover jobs may be performed by running arcclean
later.
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.xml This 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.
ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
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.
