The -loop option specifies the type of data detection loop. Allowed values are `list', `inf', `wait', `flag' or 'file'. In almost all cases of offline use, `inf' is most appropriate.
Default when using the -list option. The pipeline will stop once the observations in the list have been reduced.
Waits for data to appear before timing out. Data is reduced and the pipeline waits for the next file.
Do not wait for data. Simply reduce data starting with observation specified by -from and continuing until no more files are present. Implicitly used when -from is specified. This is the fastest way of reducing data offline.
Waits for completion files to appear (flags) before processing the data. Data is reduced and the pipeline waits for more data by checking the presence of a flag.
Works much like -loop list except that looping is carried out over a list of arbitarly named files input from the -files command line option.
Obtain data from a remote (DRAMA) task.
