EVERY
NonStop NET/MASTER MS Commands
115412 Tandem Computers Incorporated 2–91
[ CMD= ] command-text
specifies the NonStop NET/MASTER MS command(s) to execute. This operand is
a positional qualifier and must be the last operand in the command line. It must
be followed immediately by the NonStop NET/MASTER MS command(s) you
want to execute.
MSG= message-text
specifies the message text to send to the processing environment in which the
timer command is running. This operand is a positional qualifier and must be the
last operand in the command line. It must be followed immediately by the
message you want to send.
Considerations
The default authority level of this command is 0. The KEEP and ROUTE operands
each have a default authority level of 2.
You can enter this command from any NCL procedure, including the INIT NCL
procedure, by using either the CMD core statement or the INTCMD verb.
When a timer command is executed, it is queued in the NonStop NET/MASTER
MS timer queue. NonStop NET/MASTER MS does not retain timer commands in
the timer queue when it shuts down. You should place timer commands you want
to execute permanently in the INIT NCL procedure.
Timer commands executed from the INIT NCL procedure are executed under the
control of the virtual user, Background System Process (BSYS). These timer
commands bypass the command authority level checks imposed on the KEEP and
ROUTE operands.
You can specify the EVERY command in the AT command. This allows you to
start a sequence of operations at a certain time.
An EVERY command cannot specify another EVERY command as its target
command.
You can use the SUBMIT command, instead of the ROUTE operand of the EVERY
command, to schedule an EVERY command for execution under the control of a
virtual user.
For related information, see the AT, PURGE TIMER, SHOW TIMER, and SUBMIT
commands.
