Using applications from a different location, e.g.: /usr/local/bin/xrdcp, will most likely not work as they are not able to load the xrootd security libraries. |
Applications
The release contains a full xrootd releases and a few other tools the tools . The applications of interest are:
name | Description |
|---|---|
xrdcp | transfer files from and to xrootd |
xrdls | list directory on all the xrootd servers |
run a program under the xrootd preload library (useful for reading fits files) | |
xrd.pl | cammand line tool to issuse commands to xrootd like, stat a file, checksum a file,... |
One think to notice about all the applications is that they are links to a wrapper script. The wrapper script sets the proper environment so that the xrootd authorization libs are found and then runs the proper executable.
