#Simple shell script to send XSAMS documents to processor, wait and download the processing results.
#Accepts two parameters:
#First is XSAMS Processor URL, ending with /service . May need to be quoted.
#Second is URL to XSAMS document, either a VAMDC node output or just saved anywhere. May need to be quoted.
#The downloaded processing result is sent to the standard output.
#This script may be integrated as an input to some scientific tool, if there exists an on-line
#Processor service that converts XSAMS into the format of this tool.
