On Windows, excl:run-shell-command executes programs but does not invoke shell commands. The function is therefore misnamed for Windows. It is called run-shell-command to provide cross-platform compatibility between Windows and Unix and back compatibility for ACL4.3.x users. It does behave differently on Windows and Unix. The difference is related to differences between UNIX and Windows. See the documentation page for excl:run-shell-command for details on this point.

The Windows NT command processor CMD.EXE can be run from ksh, so CMD.EXE built-in commands can also be run. Assuming that PATH has been set up to include the Windows NT system directory, UWIN environment could be set to give the dir command for directory listings. For example setting the alias, alias dir='CMD.EXE /c "dir /on"', will allow the native dir command to be used in ksh.

If you use the dir command always with a lot of options like /O /W or whatever you want, it's nasty to type them all the time. You can solve this problem by setting the varibale DIRCMD in autoexec.bat: SET DIRCMD=/W The example above will set the parameter /W as default, you only type dir and you'll get the same result as dir /w. Note: This doesn't work for DR-DOS! In DR-DOS, you may set the default paramenter with dir /C [parameters], e.g. dir /CW

If you don't have access to a shell/command line (usually the case with third party hosting services) then you may find you can use Martin Geisler's phpShell software to achieve the desired result (unless SAFE MODE is not set for php). Installation problems are sometimes weird and hard to diagnose.

One command you can use is a2ps by typing 'a2ps filename'. When using this command you also need to set your printer to one nearby. Look at the next faq item for more information on how to do that. If you want to print using a graphical interface you can use the command qtcups by typing 'qtcups filename'. Look at the manual pages for more information about these two print commands by typing 'man a2ps' or 'man qtcups' at a terminal prompt.

The PROCESS service has a SHELL parameter which specifies that COMMAND should be executed as though you were at a shell prompt. This allows complex commands involving pipelines to be readily executed. Note, if COMMAND and PARMS are both specified they will be concatenated with a space between them, and the resulting string is what will be executed. Unix Command Line Example: STAF local PROCESS START SHELL COMMAND "ps | grep test | wc >testcount.txt"

TestMaker scripts may be run from within TestMaker or from the command line. Scripts to run agents from the Windows and Linux command line are found in the TestMaker distributions. For TestMaker 4.0 look at testmaker_home/utils. TestMaker 4 offers no support for WS-Security directly at this time. However, because TestMaker uses the Jython scripting language you can easily import and use an Java library that implements the security library and profile you need.

Like in Unix, a command in Windows can be executed in the background by appending "&" at the end of the command. For example, c:/> notepad & Ch supports all Windows serial port I/0 functions listed in CHHOME/include/windows/conio.h, you can find more information at Microsoft developer network web site http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/devio/base/communications_resources.asp . The Windows APIs used for serial port communication are listed below.

ntbackup <operation> <path> /a /b /d "text" /e /hc:<on/off> /l "<filename>" /r /t <backup type> /tape:n /v This will be backup . If you wanted to eject a tape you could enter eject (but must also include the /tape parameter) The list of drives and directories to be backed up. You may not enter file names or use the wildcard character. To backup multiple drives just put a space between them, e.g. ntbackup backup c: d: etc..

You have to mount the inactive system image before you can see the file systems using bdf. Use the drd mount command to mount the inactive system image.

You can launch any programs (such as word.exe, notepad.exe) or execute any commands that are accessible from the Start->Run menu (like tracert and cmd). lt;SHELLEXECUTE name="Prog" command="progname.exe" options="/s %combo1" not_found="Can't open Prog application..."/>

history, press the 'Esc' key once. This puts you into a single line< br> vi editor, in command mode, that has opened your history file. To cycle

There's a fairly simple way to do this, but there is no official way to do this for a variety of reasons. The solution is to add these lines to the end of your .login file: if ( $SHELL == "/bin/csh" ) then foreach i ($path) if ( -x $i/tcsh ) then setenv SHELL $i/tcsh set shell=$i/tcsh exec $i/tcsh -l endif end endif If you really need tcsh to be the login shell, then you should start it with the -l flag as it is done above.

The exec VI function can be used to send shell commands. Include the shell call with the commands that are desired. For example under Windows operating systems the call is to command.com. For example, the string to copy filea to a drive would be

This seems to be an issue with the Tcl/Tk frameworks that aMSN depends on. It is currently being looked into.

A#2.2: No. GNO with a shell (such as gsh) is intended to be a replacement for ORCA/Shell. Similarly, one cannot run GNO from ORCA/Shell. However, you can still use the various ORCA languages and (the majority of) utilities from GNO. See the sections on "Programs" and "Compiling", below.

If you are running XFree86 4.0, try turning off your num lock key. Or upgrade to the very latest XFree86 4.0.x where I believe that bug is fixed. a short-term workaround you can use "matlab -nojvm" to get back to the R11 xterm interface, which doesn't have this problem.

There is currently a problem with running SNMPc under Windows Server 2003. SNMPc normally gets its directory configuration information from the WIN.INI file, but Windows 2003 sometimes maps the INI file to the registry. When we try to get the value, it checks the registry rather than the file and can't find the directory where SNMPc is installed. In 7.0 we added an additional registry entry as a backup.

You need a telnet program to access the shell (like Better Telnet). To transfer files back and forth, use FTP, and ftp to the same address you telnet to. To run irc, try typing 'irc' and see if a p rogram loads. If not, you'll need to either get a binary for your system (precompiled program) or get the source and compile it yourself. To find out what kind of system your shell is on type 'uname -a' on your shell, you'll get some feedback like this: This shows you the name of the machine 'nowhere.

The password authentication used by the Web server is completely separate from that used by the login shell, so you have to set up your Web password separately (as described above). Maybe we'll get this sorted in future...

Certainly you can. And for a low volume pipeline this might be the low cost solution. However, as the volume of data increases, as the number of applications increase, and as the complexity of the processing grows, the ability to distribute processing over multiple nodes, and to monitor the status of each process and each observation in the pipeline, becomes more complex.

Because workspaces are marked as System Folders, so we can associate a special icon with them. Of course this doesn't help when you're in dos mode. Use dir /as to see system folders.

You may need to install MS Speech engine before enabling this feature (you don't have to restart Style Studio). Please refer to help file for more information on where to download engine and how to install it.

No, we do not allow bots to be run on our shells. If a bot is found running on your account you will be given a warning. After the first warning further violations will result in the termination of your account. Reasons for this include the security risks and the process time they use. Please see our Terms of Service for more information.

Most people have a disk partition dedicated to the Squid cache. You don't want to use the entire partition size. You have to leave some extra room. Currently, Squid is not very tolerant of running out of disk space. Lets say you have a 9GB disk. Remember that disk manufacturers lie about the space available. A so-called 9GB disk usually results in about 8.5GB of raw, usable space. First, put a filesystem on it, and mount it. Then check the ''available space'' with your df program.

The Next command is used for multiline pattern space manipulation it allows you to juggle text that you wish to control over multiple lines. Where the next command outputs the contents of the pattern space then reads the next line... the Next command reads the contents of the next line then appends it to the pattern space separating first line from the second with a "\n" character.

Fossil Shell Dust® is applied by sprinkling the dust onto any surface that may contain mites, including carpets, wall cracks and crevices. A pesticide duster may be used for application of this product even though it is not a pesticide. Be careful not to inhale the dust.

Right click on the .EXE file, and select "Create Shortcut". A new file called "Shortcut to..." will appear in your folder. Right-click this file and go to "Properties". You'll see one text box labelled "Target:" that points to the .EXE file. Go to the end of this text and add the command line arguments there. So to run the program in SDL, fullscreen mode, add " /sdl /fullscreen". Another method is to use a batch file. A sample one, "DWI-sdl.bat" is included.
