OPEN Command
OPEN Command
The OPEN command specifies the spooler supervisor with which Spoolcom
communicates.
\system
is the name of a system (node) where the spooler supervisor process resides. The
default \system is the current system.
$supervisor
is the process name of a supervisor in remote or local form. The default process
name for $supervisor is $SPLS. When opening a remote supervisor, the
system name can be specified without the process name. (For example, if you
specify \FAR as the system name, Spoolcom opens the process \FAR.$SPLS.)
Consideration

When starting Spoolcom, you can specify the name of the supervisor to open. If
no supervisor name is specified, then Spoolcom opens a process named $SPLS
(the default name). After Spoolcom is running, you can use the OPEN
subcommand to open a different supervisor.
Example
You can use this command to communicate with a job you have spooled to a remote
location, for example, supervisor $SPFAR on network \FARSYS:
OPEN [ \system.$supervisor ]
[ $supervisor ]
[ \system ]
)OPEN \FARSYS.$SPFAR
