The syntax of the RUN command to start SNAX/CM is as follows:
RUN SXCMGR /[ NAME $ sxcmgr-name ]
[,IN infile ]
[,OUT outfile ]
[, other run-options ]/
[backup CPU #]
[; command list ]
NAME $ sxcmgr-name
is the name of the connection manager process. This parameter is required for
continuous operations.
IN infile
is the name of an input file from which SNAX/CM reads commands; the file
defaults to hometerm . When NAME is specified and an end-of-file (EOF)
indicator is encountered in infile without an EXIT command, SNAX/CM
continues to read commands from its $RECEIVE file. If NAME is not specified,
SNAX/CM terminates operations upon receiving EOF as part of infile .
OUT outfile
is the name of an output file to which commands read from infile are echoed
and messages resulting from the commands are sent. Commands from the
$RECEIVE file are not echoed, nor are messages resulting from the received
command sent to outfile . If no outfile is provided, SNAX/CM defaults to
hometerm .
run-options
are any of the RUN options described in the TACL Reference Manual. These
options should be separated by commas.
backup CPU #
a digit specifying the backup CPU number for this SNAX/CM process. This value
is entered following the trailing slash in the RUN command.
command list
is a list of SNAX/CM commands, described in Section 3. Commands are
separated by semicolons (;).
If the last command in command list is EXIT, the commands are processed and
SNAX/CM terminates.
