DESCRIPTION

   Usage:
              arccat [OPTION...] [job ...]

       The arccat command performs the cat command on the stdout, stderr or grid manager's error log of the job.

   Brokering and filtering:
       -C, --computing-element=ce
              only select jobs that were submitted to this computing element

       -s, --status=statusstr
              only select jobs whose status is statusstr

       -a, --all
              all jobs

       -r, --rejectmanagement=URL
              skip jobs that are on a computing element with a given URL

   Behaviour tuning:
       -i, --jobids-from-file=filename
              a file containing a list of jobIDs

       -j, --joblist=filename
              the        file       storing       information       about       active       jobs       (default
              /build/nordugrid-arc-LW3M5y/nordugrid-arc-7.0.0/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)

   Other actions:
       -o, --stdout
              show the stdout of the job (default)

       -e, --stderr
              show the stderr of the job

       -l, --joblog
              show the CE's error log of the job

       -f, --file=filepath
              show the specified file from job's session directory

       -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 arccat command displays the stdout or stderr of running jobs. It can also display A-REX's  error  log
       of  a  job.  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 the
       stdout, stderr or A-REX error log of all those jobs are shown. If the --joblist option is used  the  list
       of  jobs  is  read  from  a file with the specified filename. By specifying the --all option, the stdout,
       stderr or A-REX error log of all active jobs will be shown.

       The --computing-element option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific CEs. 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.

       Only jobs where the stdout or stderr argument was given in the job description can display  the  contents
       of those files.

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.
