Commands That Behave Differently When Used in a
Command File
Commands That Behave Differently When Used in a Command
File
Some commands that display prompts for user action when used in interactive mode
(at the command prompt) behave differently when used in noninteractive mode (in a
command file). As a result, these commands cannot be used in a command file except
where noted.
Command Timeouts
If a device error occurs during execution of a command and the error delays
completion of the command beyond the default SCF timeout value, you can change
that timeout value. For example, you can change the timeout value from the default of
90 seconds to 120 seconds:
-> TIMEOUT 120
The TIMEOUT command is described in the SCF Reference Manual for G-Series
RVUs.

START DISK Can be used in a command file, but fails if the disk

STATS DISK, RESET If you use the FORCED option, the command
behaves the same way in a command file as
interactively.
STOP DISK Can be used in a command file, but fails if you
attempt to stop the last path on an audited volume or

If you use the FORCED option, the command
behaves the same way in a command file as
