ARGUMENTS

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.

       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).
