       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-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:
       --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       Since  the  information  about  a  job  retrieved  from a CE can be slightly out of date if the user very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.
