WAIT Command
process-list
is a list of unique, symbolic names you have assigned to defined processes. If you
specify an asterisk (*), information for all your defined processes is displayed.
Considerations
•
Once a process is undefined, all attributes of the process are lost. To restart the
process, you must define it again using DP.
•
UNDP issues the PSTOP command to stop a process. If the process is not stopped,
then the process is already undefined or you do not have permission to remove the
define process.
WAIT Command
The WAIT command displays accumulated output from a defined process and waits for
the process to prompt. Output is removed from the output queue as it is being displayed.
Instead of sending to your terminal, you can send the display output to a file or a
variable. WAIT also allows you to view process output after issuing a NOWAIT
command or after pressing the BREAK key during output. If you want to return to the
TACL prompt before output is complete, press the BREAK key.
out-option
is any of the following options:
OUT file-name
names the file to which the output is redirected. If the file does not exist, OUT
creates it.
OUTV variable
names an existing TACL variable to which the output is redirected.
process-list
is a list of unique, symbolic names you have assigned to defined processes. If you
specify an asterisk (*), information for all your defined processes is displayed.
Consideration
WAIT is invoked automatically during commands using the WAIT option.
Note. If your TACL use list is not set up to include :utils:DP, you must precede the WAIT
command with :utils:dp.
