Name

DMANsetprogpath_v2 - tell DMANserv_v2 the pathname of a shell escape program.

Synopsis

DMANsetprogpath_v2 [dman_host] [which] [path]

Description

This program tells DMANserv_v2(8) the pathname of a shell escape program. DMANserv_v2(8) provides several places where it may execute an external program.

Arguments

Parsing of the arguments is simple minded.

The arguments marked required must be supplied.

Arguments marked optional are not required. However, if an optional argument is used the arguments preceeding it on the command line must be supplied (even if they are marked optional).

dman_host - required

the host where DMANserv_v2(8) is running
which - required

Choices are setup, endrun, endlist, park, or error.
path - optional

The pathname of the executable. The pathname must either be the absolute pathname of the executable or just the name of the executable may be given if DMANsetprogpath_v2 is executed in the directory containing the shell escape program.

If the argument is missing the pathname is cleared in DMANserv(8) .

Shell Escape Program

The name "shell escape program" comes from the idea that most of the time these programs are shell scripts. However, they may be any executable program.

When the program is started it is given several arguments. These arguments are: the pathname of the batch directory (i.e. the base directory being used for collecting the AMS data), the current item number, and the current measurement number.

Examples

#
# tell DMANserv to execute the program
# run_it at the end of the runlist
#
DMANsetprogpath_v2 localhost endlist run_it

Notes

This program is deprecated. Use DMANcontrol_v2(8) instead.
