Pandamonium

Cause panda and rucio don't work too good

This tells you if your jobs are done. And stuff like that.

• No login required
• Colors! (when you want them)
• Gets input / output dataset names
• Works with piping, other unix nice things

How I do dat?

1. Clone me
2. Add the directory to your PATH
3. Type pandamon user.<your user name>
4. Pretty colors!!!

You can add more of the task name if you want, and use wildcards (*). Wildcards are automatically appended to names that don't end in * or /.

Also try pandamon -h.

Other tricks

Get input/output dataset names

> pandamon -s IN <task name>
> pandamon -s OUT <task name>

Filter by user name

This is useful if you're running with group privileges. Set the environment variable GRID_USER_NAME to your full user name (the one that shows up on the top of the bigpanda page). Or specify one with --user.

Find input datasets for jobs in the broken state

You can do more useful stuff by piping through standard Unix utilities

> pandamon your.tasks > tasks.txt
> cat tasks.txt | awk '$1 ~ /broken/ {print $3}' | pandamon -s IN
