auCTL

auCTL is a command-line interface (CLI) tool designed for interacting with and managing the AUROC system. AUROC, which stands for Automated Unit-based Orchestration and Control, is a platform used for deploying and orchestrating various computational tasks and services. auCTL provides users with a convenient way to send commands, retrieve status information, and configure the AUROC environment without directly accessing its underlying APIs or complex configurations.

The primary functions of auCTL include submitting new jobs to the AUROC system, monitoring the progress and status of running jobs, and retrieving logs or output from completed tasks. Users can also leverage auCTL to manage resources, such as allocating specific compute nodes or adjusting resource limits for their deployments. The tool supports various authentication methods to ensure secure access to the AUROC platform.

auCTL is typically used by system administrators, researchers, and developers who need to automate workflows or manage complex computational pipelines. Its scripting capabilities allow for seamless integration into larger automation frameworks and CI/CD pipelines. The tool aims to simplify the operational aspects of using the AUROC system, making it more accessible and efficient for a wider range of users. Documentation for auCTL usually details available commands, their parameters, and examples of common usage scenarios.
