vdt-get-job-info

vdt-get-job-info allows you to query Globus Jobmanager accounting logs and find information like:

• Who submitted a certain job on the local batch system?
• Where a job was submitted from?
• How many jobs a user submitted?

Before you use vdt-get-job-info you must 'source' the setup.csh or setup.sh file to configure your environment. After you do that, vdt-get-job-info should be in your path.

In order for vdt-get-job-info to work properly your jobmanager needs to be set up to do accounting. By default, VDT 2.0.0 takes care of this for you. By default, vdt-get-job-info looks for the accounting log at $GLOBUS_LOCATION/var/accounting.log ($GLOBUS_LOCATION is set by setup.sh and setup.csh). If your globus installation logs in a different location you can specify that at the command line with the --file option.

Without any arguments vdt-get-job-info prints a list of all jobs in the accounting log.
