PATHMON and PATHCOM Startup Commands

Starting PATHCOM
If you omit this parameter, input is taken from the current TACL input file; this
file is typically the home terminal.
OUT list-file
specifies a file to which all PATHCOM command responses are written. The
file must be either an EDIT file or an unstructured format file. If responses are
written to a key-sequenced, relative, or entry-sequenced file, the Pathway
configuration fails and the PATHCOM process eventually abends.
If you specify a disk file name that already exists, the PATHCOM command
response is appended to the existing file. If you specify a disk file and the file
does not exist, an EDIT file is created.
If you specify a line printer or a process, a page eject is performed when the
file is opened. A page eject is not performed before the file is closed.
If you specify a magnetic tape, two consecutive file marks are written just
before the file is closed.
If you omit this parameter, output is directed to the current TACL output file;
this is typically the home terminal.
CPU number
specifies the processor in which PATHCOM runs. Possible values are any
processor on your system, from 0 through 15.
If you omit this parameter, the default is the processor used by the TACL
command interpreter.
NAME $process-name
specifies the name of the PATHCOM process. The name can be a maximum
of 6 characters. $process-name begins with a dollar sign ($), followed by 1
to 5 alphanumeric characters. The first alphanumeric character must be a
letter.
If you intend to use the PATHCOM process name across a network,
$process-name can be no longer than five characters, that is, a dollar sign
($) followed by no more than four alphanumeric characters.
NOWAIT
specifies that the TACL command interpreter is not to wait for PATHCOM, but
is to return immediately with a command input prompt. This option is usually
not included when PATHCOM is used interactively, but is useful when
PATHCOM is used with a command file.
PRI number
is the execution priority of the PATHCOM process.
