This option allows the execution of one or more system level commands without leaving and re-starting the ECHMENU shell task.
The command is prompted for with:
- System_$ /''/ >
you should then enter a command. If more than one command is
required then the csh command should be given to initiate a fully
independent process.
This process must be terminated by a CTRL-D in order to return to the
ECHMENU shell task.
This option can be used to perform system commands like ls and also
FIGARO commands such as
IMAGE etc. However, ECHOMOP
commands which change parameter values will not operate perfectly because the
monolith already has the ECHOMOP parameter file open.
System commands can also be entered directly at the Option: prompt by making the first character a $. Thus:
$ls
would execute the system `directory' command, and return to the main menu.
