Open System Services Shell and Utilities Reference Manual (G06.27+, H06.04+)

User Commands (p - r) runv(1)
NOTES
On H-series systems, the runv and run -debug commands start the same debugger and are func-
tionally equivalent. However, the run -debug command is faster than the runv command in the
OSS environment on H-series systems.
Unless you want to initiate debugging from one workstation but have the debugging session go to
another workstation, you should use the run -debug command instead of runv. The run -debug
command does not support the -wsaddr flag, so the runv command must be used to route debug-
ging to a different workstation.
EXAMPLES
1. The command line
runv myprog
starts the program myprog under the control of the Visual Inspect session on the current
workstation.
2. The command line
runv -cpu=2 -wsaddr=mypc.mycompany.com myprogram -abc myfile
starts the myprogram executable image under the control of Visual Inspect on the
workstation mypc.mycompany.com and on processor 2. This instance of myprogram
is passed the arguments -abc and myfile.
EXIT VALUES
The following exit values are returned by runv:
0 The file specified in program_file_path was run successfully.
>0 An error occurred.
