TMFCOM Commands

OBEY

The OBEY command executes a series of commands entered in a command file.

node

identifies the node (system) on which the command file is stored.

volume

identifies the disk volume on which the command file is stored.

subvolume

identifies the subvolume on which the command file is stored.

file-id

identifies the command file, which contains one or more valid TMFCOM

commands.

Security Restrictions

Anyone can enter the OBEY command.

TMF State Requirement

You can enter the OBEY command at any time, whether or not TMF has been started.

Usage Guidelines

If you omit node, volume, or subvolume, TMFCOM uses the default names supplied

by the OBEYVOL

or VOLUME commands. If you do not issue an OBEYVOL or

VOLUME

command, TMFCOM uses the defaults in effect when TMFCOM was started.

If you issue both OBEYVOL

and VOLUME in this session, OBEYVOL takes

precedence over VOLUME.

A command file can contain other OBEY commands, nested up to four levels deep.

TMFCOM reads the commands in the command file until it reaches an EXIT command

or the end of the file. Then, TMFCOM closes the command file and reads its next

command from the file from which it read the OBEY command.

If the command file contains VOLUME or OBEYVOL commands, the defaults are not

reset after the command file is executed.

TMFCOM returns an error message if any part of the file specification is not valid or if

the file does not exist. After this message appears, the current source for command

input regains control.
