Running Other Programs From
SAFECOM
You can execute the RUN command directly from SAFECOM. This feature allows a
security administrator to run programs without having to leave SAFECOM.
The SAFECOM RUN command is a modified form of the TACL RUN command. It
differs from the TACL RUN command in these ways:
•
An implicit RUN command is not supported.
•
The RUND command is not supported.
•
Several run options are not supported.
The SAFECOM RUN command does not interact with a $CMON process, nor does it
pass ASSIGNs, PARAMs, or DEFINEs. These actions are not acceptable in a security
subsystem because they allow substitutions for file names.
Run Command
For more information on the RUN command, see the TACL Reference Manual. The
syntax of the SAFECOM RUN command is:
program-file
is the name of the file containing the object program to be run.
RUN program-file [ [ / run-option [ , run-option ] ... / ]
[ param-set ] ]
