ECACCESS-COSINFO(1p)

💖 ecaccess-cosinfo — bestie edition 💖

ok so real talk, this is ecaccess-cosinfo, a lil Perl script that lives in the ECMWF world and pulls up CosInfo for you. that's the manual name btw, i'm not copying the header line, i'm just telling you bestie 🎀

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

ecaccess-cosinfo -version|-help|-manual

ecaccess-cosinfo [-debug]

like. that's the whole vibe check right there 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

okay so Cosinfo is the system ECMWF uses to hand out computer operations system information. think: scheduled or unscheduled downtime of servers, applications or hardware. so when something's being dramatic and going down, cosinfo is where the tea gets spilled 💅

👑 OPTIONS 👑

• -version — prints the version number and then dips out. that's it, that's the whole job ✨
• -help — prints a lil brief help message and exits. cute, quick, done 🫶
• -manual — prints the manual page and exits. hi, that's literally what you're reading rn 💀
• -retry count — the number of SSL connection retries per 5s to ECMWF. important deets: this parameter only applies to the initial SSL connection that the command itself initiates to the ECMWF server. it does NOT apply to all the subsequent requests made afterward, because it's mainly targeting errors that can sometimes pop off during the SSL handshake. the default is no retry. no cap 🔥
• -debug — displays the SOAP and SSL messages exchanged. full transparency mode, we love to see it 🙈
