   Application Options:
       -h, --help
              Show help options

       -z, --conffile=filename
              configuration file (default ~/.arc/client.conf)

       -t, --timeout=seconds
              timeout in seconds (default 20)

       -d, --debug=debuglevel

       -v, --version
              print version information

EXTENDED DESCRIPTION

       The arckill command kills a running job on an ARC enabled resource. The job can be referred to either  by
       the jobid that was returned by arcsub(1) at submission time or by its jobname if the job description that
       was submitted contained a jobname attribute.

       More than one jobid and/or jobname can be given. If several jobs were submitted with the same jobname all
       those  jobs  are  killed.  If  the --joblist option is used the list of jobs is read from a file with the
       specified filename. By specifying the --all option, all jobs can be killed.

       The --computing-element option can be used to select or reject jobs at specific  clusters.  The  --status
       option  can  be used to select jobs in a specific state. These options can be repeated several times. See
       arcstat(1) for possible state values.

       If the job was successfully killed the attepmt to remove the job from the remote  cluster  will  be  made
       unless  the  --keep option was specified. Depending on functionality of service job killing procedure may
       take time and it may be impossible to clean job immediately.  In that case arckill will report number  of
       cleaned  jobs smaller than processed ones. Cleaning of leftover jobs may be performed by running arcclean
       later.

FILES

       ~/.arc/client.conf
              Some options can be given default values by specifying them in the ARC client configuration  file.
              By using the --conffile option a different configuration file can be used than the default.

       ~/.arc/jobs.dat
              This  a local database of the user's active jobs. When a job is successfully submitted it is added
              to database and when it is removed from the remote CE it is removed from this list. This  database
              is  used  as  the  list of all active jobs when the user specifies the --all option to the various
              NorduGrid ARC user interface commands. By using the --joblist option a different file can be  used
              than the default.
