arcstat - Man Page

The arcstat command gives the status of a job submitted to a ARC CE.  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 status 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 status of all active jobs will be shown.

By default arcstat presents job states as defined internally followed by middleware specific representation of job state in brackets. The following internal job states are defined:

Accepted - job accepted on cluster but not being processed yet

Preparing - job is in phase of preparing for submission to batch system

Submitting - communication with batch system in ongoing

Hold - job's processing is suspended dueto internal reason or user request

Queuing - job is passed to batch system but not being executed yet

Running - job being execcuted in batch system

Finishing - job in phase of post-execution procedures being run

Finished - job successfully completed all processing phases

Killed - job processing was interrupted by user request

Failed - job processing was interrupted due to detected failure

Deleted - job was removed from cluster (usually because it stayed there too long)

Other - middleware specific job state could not be adequately mappped to internal state

Those are also states which are used by arccat(1), arcclean(1), arcget(1), arckill(1), arcrenew(1), arcresume(1) to perform job filtering.

If the --long option is given more detailed information is shown.

Jobs can be sorted according to the jobid, submissiontime or jobname, either in normal or reverse order. By using the --sort or --rsort option followed by the desired ordering ('jobid', 'submissiontime' or 'jobname'), jobs will be sorted in normal or reverse order. Note that the options --sort and --rsort cannot be used at the same time.

The --computing-element option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific clusters. The --status option can be used to select jobs in a specific state. These options can be repeated several times. See arcstat(1) for possible state values.

Also in this case the --long option can be used to obtain more detailed information.

~/.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.
