    java -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar -h

You can obtain information about Rescale Core Types and the Softwares available using the following commands and flags :

COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar list-info - [-p ]
FLAGSDESCRIPTION

-aRetrieves information about softwares available

Submit a job
Submits a job on the Rescale platform. You can login to the Rescale platform to check the submitted job.

COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar submit [-p ] -i
FLAGSDESCRIPTION
1) -q or --quietSuppresses all logging output that would normally go to STDOUT. This is useful when piping the script output to another script.
2) -E or --end-to-endRuns the job end-to-end : uploading input files, submitting the job, monitoring for the results and downloading the results files.
3) -f ...Filter output files to be downloaded after the job finishes. This flag can be used with submit only while running an end-to-end job.

Stop a job

Submits a request to cleanly shutdown the currently running job

COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar stop [-p ] -j

Delete a job

Submits a request to delete a completed job

COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar delete [-p ] -j

Check job status
Requests the specified job’s status. Place in a loop to monitor continuously. It is recommended that an exponential backoff algorithm is used to monitor jobs that take long.

COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar status [-p ] -j

Download files from a completed job

Downloads all the result files after the job run.

  
COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar sync [-p ] -j
  
FLAGSDESCRIPTION
-s ...Output file filtering using “string pattern matching” searching.
(Since it happens on the server side, searching more robust
and faster – Recommended)
-f ...Output file filtering using “glob” (Happens on the client side).
*is a wildcard that will match any string of characters and
? is a wildcard that will match any single character
--exclude ,, ... ,Excludes the specified files from downloading.
-nTo sync all jobs newer than a specific job. App will create
individual directories as – rescale_job_
-dFor continuous syncing, the user may specify a
sync time. The time in seconds would determine
the delay time between two sync attempts

Download files from a running job

Downloads a specific file from a running job. It downloads a copy of the file (as it exists at that time) to the user’s local directory in which they executed the command. Second, it would adds that same time-sensitive copy of the file to the job’s output, whose name is formatted “download_{timestamp}_{original_filename}”.

  
COMMANDjava -jar /usr/local/bin/rescale.jar download-file [-p ] -j -f
  
FLAGSDESCRIPTION
-f ...Output file filtering using “string pattern matching”
(Happens on the client side). *is a wildcard that will
match any string of characters and ? is a wildcard
that will match any single character
Note: This works best in bash, may not work in other shells
