Retrieve the history of a job

Sometimes, it is useful to know the history of a job through the WMS from submission to end, for example to better understand the reason of a failure, when glite-wms-job-status is not enough. The history, also called logging information of a job can be retrieved by doing:

$ glite-wms-job-logging-info [-v <verbosity>] <jobId>

or

$ glite-wms-job-logging-info [-v <verbosity>] -i <file_path>

where <jobId> and <file_path> are respectively a jobId and a file containing a list of jobIds (like the file produced by the -o option of glite-wms-job-submit). The optional parameter -v <verbosity> is used to set the amount of detail in the output, and it is advisable to use -v 3 to get the most complete information.
