NAME
       justin-cvmfs-upload - upload files to cvmfs via RCDS for justIN

SYNOPSIS
       justin-cvmfs-upload [--help] [--verbose] TAR_FILE

DESCRIPTION
       justin-cvmfs-upload is a command-line utility for uploading one or more
       files contained in a tar archive file to cvmfs using the Fermilab Rapid
       Code Distribution Service (RCDS). The full cvmfs path is then output by
       the command.

       The environment variable JOBSUB_DROPBOX_SERVER_LIST is used to find the
       RCDS server to use, or rcds01.fnal.gov if the variable is not set.


OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS
       -h, --help
          Show help message and exit.


       -v, --verbose
          Turn on verbose logging.


       TAR_FILE
          A .tar archive file (not a tar.tgz compressed archive!)
          containing files to be uploaded to cvmfs via RCDS.


EXAMPLE
       justin-cvmfs-upload must be run on a computer inside the Fermilab
       firewall. You also need a valid X.509 proxy, which you can readily
       create with the kx509 commnad. A VOMS proxy is not needed.

       mkdir somedir
       cd somedir
       date > hello_world.txt
       tar cvf hello_world.tar *
       INPUT_TAR_DIR_LOCAL=`justin-cvmfs-upload hello_world.tar`
       echo $INPUT_TAR_DIR_LOCAL
