What Is in This Section In addition to the commands that enable you to control and gather information about
your NonStop NET/MASTER Management Services (MS) operations, NonStop
NET/MASTER MS provides two important commands—OPSYS and PROGRUN—
with which you can do the following:
Issue Distributed Systems Network Management (DSNM) commands to monitor
and control network objects in subsystems supported by DSNM
Run Guardian utilities, TACL routines, and third-party utilities
Run programs external to NonStop NET/MASTER MS that operate in block-mode
and conversational-mode (line-at-a-time)
Note You can issue the NonStop NET/MASTER MS OPSYS and PROGRUN commands by using any of the
methods already discussed in earlier sections of this manual. However, if you issue the PROGRUN
command from an NCL procedure, the NCL procedure continues to execute while the program started by
the PROGRUN command takes over the terminal.
The Console Extras facility provides a user interface that facilitates your use of the
PROGRUN command.
