Description
This man page is not the ultimate source of information about arcctl. Please use --help to see all
options available for each component!
The arcctl(1) utility is aimed to automate ARC CE operations, like controlling Services, Jobs, RunTime
Environments, Accounting, etc.
The main goal is to provide a single point of control for different ARC CE subsystems to the system
administrator.
arcctl designed with bash-completion in mind, so make sure you have python-argcomplete installed and
enabled to use all features.
