Hi,
a customer wrote the following script ... and I'm not very familiar with this
kind of stuff.
console$UNLOCK_CLICHY.script contains :
UNLOCK CLICHY
EXIT
Then he wrote the following procedure :
my_unlock_clichy.com contains :
$ console monitor/noinit
unlock_clichy
$ exit
$ console archive/noconf /keep=1
$ exit
1) problem
when run interactively, you have to hit a character to get unlock_clichy to be
executed (if no character is hit you wait on console monitor/noinit)
why ?
A consequence is that you can't use my_unlock_clichy.com in batch mode.
2) when a character is hit, the unlock is executed but the archive command is
ignored.
Help will be very much appreciated,
Maria. French CSC.

Because Monitor is an SMG application it is not designed to be run in
a command file or in batch. The DIALOG facility was created for just
such things as your trying to do. Your customer needs to create a
DIALOG file that does the things he wants to do. See the documentation
fo complete info.

Thats because you used $EXIT after the UNLOCK_CLICHY command so the
procedure exited before running your archive command.

Hi, thanks for your explanation ... I modified the customer procedure this way : $ console dialog/file=my_unlock.dialog my_system $ console archive my_system with my_unlock.dialog just containing : UNLOCK. It works very well (interactively and in batch mode). Maria. | |||||
