PROGRAM Commands
HP NonStop Pathway/iTS System Management Manual—426748-002
11-13
RUN PROGRAM Command
NOWAIT
causes the program to execute concurrently with PATHCOM, so that the
PATHCOM prompt returns immediately to your screen. To use the NOWAIT
option, you must specify a terminal that is different from the terminal on which you
give the RUN PROGRAM command.
If you do not specify this option, the PATHCOM prompt does not return to your
screen until after the program has completed running.
Considerations
•
If a RUN PROGRAM command is issued from a 6530 terminal and no PROGRAM
template is defined for that terminal type, but a PROGRAM object is defined for a
6520 terminal, the TCP executes the PROGRAM object as if it were defined for a
6520 terminal. The features that are unique to the 6530 terminal, however, do not
function.
•
The PATHMON process supports subtype 30 processes that function as devices
managed by PROGRAM objects. Subtype 30 processes are nonprivileged
processes that emulate terminals and communication devices. Because the
PATHMON process determines the device type by directly polling the emulator
process, you do not have to specify a value for the RUN PROGRAM TYPE
parameter.
Errors
The following table lists the most common error that can occur during the processing of
the RUN PROGRAM command:
Examples
The following command starts the PROGRAM PROG-1:

The following command directs a copy of the screen image to the printer that is
attached to the terminal:
RUN PROGRAM PROG-2,PRINTER IS-ATTACHED
