-h3(#arv-pipeline-run). arv pipeline run
-
-@arv pipeline run@ can be used to start a pipeline run from the command line.
-
-The User Guide has a page with a bit more information on "using arv pipeline run":{{site.baseurl}}/user/topics/running-pipeline-command-line.html.

-$ <code class="userinput">arv pipeline run --help</code>
-Options:
- --dry-run, -n: Do not start any new jobs or wait for existing jobs to
- finish. Just find out whether jobs are finished,
- queued, or running for each component.
- --status-text <s>: Store plain text status in given file. (Default:
- /dev/stdout)
- --status-json <s>: Store json-formatted pipeline in given file. (Default:
- /dev/null)
- --no-wait: Do not wait for jobs to finish. Just look up status,
- submit new jobs if needed, and exit.
- --no-reuse: Do not reuse existing jobs to satisfy pipeline
- components. Submit a new job for every component.
- --debug, -d: Print extra debugging information on stderr.
- --debug-level <i>: Set debug verbosity level.
- --template <s>: UUID of pipeline template, or path to local pipeline
- template file.
- --instance <s>: UUID of pipeline instance.
- --submit: Submit the pipeline instance to the server, and exit.
- Let the Crunch dispatch service satisfy the components
- by finding/running jobs.
- --run-pipeline-here: Manage the pipeline instance in-process. Submit jobs
- to Crunch as needed. Do not exit until the pipeline
- finishes (or fails).
- --run-jobs-here: Run jobs in the local terminal session instead of
- submitting them to Crunch. Implies
- --run-pipeline-here. Note: this results in a
- significantly different job execution environment, and
- some Crunch features are not supported. It can be
- necessary to modify a pipeline in order to make it run
- this way.
- --run-here: Synonym for --run-jobs-here.
- --description <s>: Description for the pipeline instance.
- --version, -v: Print version and exit
- --help, -h: Show this message
