DESCRIPTION

The heliosx_job_json_submit command can be used to submit jobs specified in JSON format to a Helios collective from the command line. It is is more or less a substitute for helios_job_submit.pl using JSON instead of Helios's default job argument XML.

OPTIONS

--jobtype

The jobtype of the job. If not specified, the command will use the "jobtype" attribute of the specified JSON object string.

--args

The job argument string, in JSON format. If not specified, the command will will read it from STDIN.

--version

Displays the versions of the command, HeliosX::Job::JSON, and the Helios system version.

--help

Displays this help page.

JOB ARGUMENT JSON

Helios job argument JSON should describe a JSON object:

 {
     "jobtype" : "<Helios jobtype name>",
     "args" : {
         "<arg1 name>" : "<arg1 value>",
         "<arg2 name>" : "<arg2 value>",
         ...etc...
     }
 }

For example, for a job of type MyService with 2 arguments, filename and thumbnail_size:

 {
     "jobtype" : "MyService",
     "args" : {
               "filename" : "photo.jpg",
               "thumbnail_size" : "100x100"
              }
 }
