EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       The arctest command is used for basic testing of ARC client and server  installation  through  submitting
       various  test  jobs.  It  can  also  print  basic  information  about  user's certificate. The command is
       complementary to arcinfo and arcproxy -I

       The test jobs available in this version of arctest are:

       Test job 1: This test-job calculates prime-numbers for a number of minutes given by -r  (default  5)  and
       outputs the list to stderr. The source-code for the prime-number program, the Makefile and the executable
       are  downloaded  to  the cluster from HTTP and FTP servers and the program is compiled before running. In
       this way, the test job constitutes a fairly comprehensive test of the basic setup of a grid cluster.

       Test job 2: attempts to list all environment variables at the remote site

       Test job 3: copies a remote file from an HTTP server into a local file

EXAMPLES

       arctest -J 1 -c <clustername>

       will submit test job number 1 to the specified cluster belonging to the flavor of it.

       arctest --certificate

       will print basic information about the user's certificate.
