Assimilators in scripting languages

The assimilator script_assimilator lets you write assimilator logic in your language of choice (Python, Perl, PHP, bash, etc.). script_assimilator takes a command-line argument

--script "filename arg1 ... argn"

script to handle a completed job

arg1 ... argn represent cmdline args to be passed to the script for successful workunits. The options are:

files

list of output files of the job's canonical result

wu_id

workunit ID

result_id

ID of the canonical result

runtime

runtime of the canonical result, in seconds

If no args are specified, the script is invoked as

scriptname wu_id files

If the workunit has no canonical result (i.e. it failed) the script is invoked as

scriptname --error N wu_id

where N is an integer encoding the reasons for the job's failure (see WU_ERROR_* in html/inc/common_defs.inc)

The script must be put in your project's bin/ directory.
