Running Spoolcom

You can run Spoolcom by entering the following command at the TACL prompt:

run-options

are any run options for the command-interpreter RUN command, separated from

each other by commas. See the description of the command-interpreter RUN

command in the TACL Reference Manual for a complete set of the run options.

If you specify OUT filename as a run option, Spoolcom writes the data to the file

in a manner suitable for the file type, process, or device. file-name must be

specified; if the file does not exist, Spoolcom creates an EDIT file (file type 101).

The file can be an EDIT file, unstructured file, a relative file, an entry-sequenced

file, a spooler job file, a process, or a device.

supervisor

is the name of the spooler supervisor with which Spoolcom communicates. If

supervisor is omitted, then Spoolcom assumes $SPLS is the supervisor.

If you want to communicate with a remote supervisor, you should use the network

form of the supervisor process name (for example, \FAR.$SPLS) rather than

invoking the remote Spoolcom (for example, \FAR.SPOOLCOM).

command

is a Spoolcom command. You can specify multiple commands, separated by

semicolons, in a list up to 132 characters long. If one or more commands are

specified, Spoolcom executes them and terminates.

Running Spoolcom Noninteractively

To run Spoolcom noninteractively, specify Spoolcom commands in the command line

when starting Spoolcom. You can enter multiple commands, separated by semicolons,

in a list up to 132 characters long. The maximum length of the Spoolcom command

line is 132 characters, regardless of whether it is entered from a terminal or read from

a disk file. The following command causes Spoolcom to obtain the status of job 43 and

then exit:

)JOB 43, STATUS; EXIT

SPOOLCOM [ / run-options / ] [ supervisor ] [ ; command ] ...
