UPSUTIL OVERVIEW

Chapter 32

234

There is no run-time parameter (parm=) and no information string (info=) for UPSUTIL.

When activated, UPSUTIL presents the start-up display information see Figure 32-1 on the Output file

(terminal screen). The start-up display shows the version and copyright banner of UPSUTIL, the “help menu”

of UPSUTIL’s commands, and then the UPSUTIL prompt for the user’s first command input.

Figure 32-1 UPSUTIL Invocation

Use of Files

UPSUTIL uses only two files in its operation. It reads its commands from the Pascal INPUT file (job/session

$STDIN file), and writes its output (prompts for commands, progress messages, error messages, and display

information resulting from command execution) to the Pascal OUTPUT file (job/session $STDLIST) file.

Revision of March 2000: Version 8:

UPSUTIL now also uses “UPS Monitor configuration files”, as described in the NEWCONFIG command.

(Actually, UPSUTIL does not, per se, “use” these files — it never opens a UPS Monitor configuration file; it

simply acquires from the user the file name of a configuration file, and passes that file name to the UPS

Monitor, which actually opens and uses the file.)

Revision of December 2001: Version 9:
