The Command to Run SAFECOM
Safeguard Reference Manual 520618-030

Command Syntax
that manage or monitor processes (such as the command-interpreter STATUS
command).
If you include NAME but omit $process-name, the system assigns a name to
your SAFECOM process.
If you omit the NAME option, your SAFECOM process runs as an unnamed
process. It can be identified only by the system-assigned process number.
NOWAIT
instructs your command interpreter to return to your terminal for more
commands after starting a SAFECOM process. Typically, you use NOWAIT in
the batch mode, in which you specify an EDIT command file as the IN file for
SAFECOM, or in the execute-and-quit mode. The NOWAIT option means that
SAFECOM runs in the background, and you can use your terminal for other
work.
If you omit NOWAIT, your command interpreter starts SAFECOM and then
pauses while SAFECOM runs. Typically, you omit NOWAIT when you are
starting an interactive SAFECOM session. When you run SAFECOM without
the NOWAIT option, SAFECOM accepts input commands from your terminal
and displays its error messages and output reports on your terminal. When you
exit SAFECOM, the command interpreter regains control of your terminal and
displays its prompt.
OUT [listfile]
specifies a file that SAFECOM uses as an output file. SAFECOM writes all
input commands and their responses to those commands to its current output
file. For listfile, specify any file name. SAFECOM appends its output to
listfile. If listfile does not exist, SAFECOM creates an EDIT-format
file and writes its output to that file.
If you specify an IN filename and include OUT with no listfile,
SAF
ECOM produces no output text.
If you omit the OUT option, SAFECOM uses the OUT file currently defined for
your command interpreter (usually your home terminal).
If the OUT file is specified and an error is encountered in processing the
command, SAFECOM will ABEND on exit and TACL returns -6 as the
MESSAGECODE and a non-zero value as the COMPLETIONCODE.
