Globus tools have been installed in the directory located at /cvs/cds/caltech/ldg-4.7
Source the setup.csh file in that directory to enable the grid tools.
Copy your .globus directory with your certificate information to somewhere convenient, such as your user directory.
Use the command grid-proxy-init -key /path/to/.globus/userkey.pem -cert /path/to/.globus/usercert.pem where "/path/to" has been replaced with the appropriate path. Follow with grid-proxy-init and use your grid certificate password.
Using gsissh ldas-pcdev1.ligo.caltech.edu will then log you into the cluser.
To create a cache file with locations of data files in lal-cache format, use ligo_data_find (ligo_data_find --help is very informative)
For example,
ligo_data_find -s 825000000 -e 850000000 -o H -t R -l -u file --lal-cache > name_of_my_new_cache_file.cache
In this case -s sets start time, -e sets end time, -o sets observatory, -t sets type (R for raw, RDS_R_L1 for level 1 data, etc), -u file returns file locations, and --lal-cache puts it out in lal-cache format.
