Hi,

Here is a revised list of xrdadmin commands and their status:

Done:
- check whether file is on a given xrootd server or in hpss
- copy file - xrdcp
- mv file within xrootd file system
- remove file from disk cache
- change file permissions
- 'stat' file
- checksum
- list directory (without attributes, Artem/Wilko asked for listing with attributes). 
  To get it with attributes, need to list directory and then 'stat' each file.
  Per Andy that is acceptable.
  BTW, listing directory is currently disabled because of HPSS, in the future 
  (couple of month away) it will show "list all immediately available files.


Not done:
- check file backup status (backed up/not)
- pre-stage file from hpss into disk cache, with notification
- migrate file to hpss, with notification
- pin file on disk for specified time
- stop xrootd
- which server(s) have this file
