callci(1) MPE/iX Shell and Utilities callci(1)

NAME

callci — run a MPE/iX CI command from the MPE/iX Shell

SYNOPSIS

callci command_string

callci –

DESCRIPTION

The callci command allows you to run a MPE/iX Command Ineterpretor (MPE/iX CI) com-

mand while in the MPE/iX Shell. It concatenates all arguments speciﬁed on the command line

together with appropriate spaces and then uses the HPCICOMMAND intrinsic to submit the

resulting string to the MPE/iX CI for execution. If the only argument speciﬁed is –, callci

reads from the standard input one line at a time and submits each line to the

MPE/iX CI for exe-

cution.

EXAMPLES

The following command lists all of the ﬁles in pub.sys.

shell> callci listfile @.pub.sys

This next example uses the

MPE/iX CI COPY command to do a forced copy of a ﬁle foo to a

ﬁle bar. Note that the semicolon (;) must be quoted to prevent the

MPE/iX Shell from inter-

preting it.

shell> callci copy foo,bar;yes

You could also enter the command as

shell> callci "copy foo,bar;yes"

DIAGNOSTICS

Messages
