Client Admin

The client admin tools allow a user to do some file/directory operations in Xrootd: stat, rm, mkdir, checksum,.....

There are different tools:

xrdcmd Client admin tools

xrdcmd is wrapped around xrd.pl. It sets up the environment (LD_LIBRARY_PATH and PERL5LIB), If this environment is set by other means one could call xrd.pl instead of xrdcmd.

xrdcmd implements currently only a subset of all client admin tools.  The location of the script is:

    ~glastdat/bin/xrdcmd 

To get more information run :  ~glastdat/bin/xrdcmd -h

Examples> xrdcmd -s glast-rdr stat /glast/wilko/f1
size 37 onDisk 1 flags 48 modTime 1178659009 Tue May 8 14:16:49 2007 /glast/wilko/f1

> xrdcmd -s sulky48 dir /glast/mc

xrdls something similar to ls

Xrootd does not provide the directory listing (ls) semantics as a file system does. The xrdls is a command line tool that looks a little bit like an ls. By defaults it loops over all xrootd data servers and obtains a directory listing for each of them.

The usage is:
xrdls -l dataServer directory

It is implemented by using the standard unix ls command together with the xrootd preload library.
