Ferdi Franceschini 2006-08-17 15:46 The batch buffer manager handles the execution of batch files. It can execute batch files directly. Additionally, batch files can be added into a queue for later processing. The batch buffer manager supports the following commands described below.  The command for controlling the batch manager is called exe exe buffername directly load the buffer stored in the file buffername and execute it. The file is searched in the batch buffer search path. exe batchpath newpath Without an argument, this command lists the directories which are searched for batch files. newpath sets a new search path. It is possible to specify multiple directories by separating them with colons. exe syspath newpath Without an argument, this command lists the system directories which are searched for batch files. newpath sets a new system search path. It is possible to specify multiple directories by separating them with colons. exe info prints the name of the currently executing batch buffer exe info stack prints the stack of nested batch files (i.e. batch files calling each other). exe info range name Without an argument prints the range of code currently being executed. name prints the range of code executing in named buffer within the stack of nested buffers. The reply looks like: number of start character = number of end character = line number exe info text name Without an argument prints the code text currently being executed. name prints the range of code text executing in the named buffer within the stack of nested buffers. exe enqueue buffername Appends buffername to the queue of batch buffers to execute. exe clear Clears the queue of batch buffers exe queue Prints the content of the batch buffer queue. exe run Starts executing the batch buffers in the queue. exe print buffername Prints the content of the batch buffer buffername to the screen. exe interest Switches on automatic notification about starting batch files, executing a new bit of code or for finishing a batch file. This is most useful for SICS clients watching the progress of the experiment. exe upload Prepare the batch manager to upload a new set of commands from the client exe append 'tcl commands' don't know the syntax. nha Append some tcl commands. exe save filename Save the commands to a batch file.  Returns an error if you try to overwrite an existing batch file exe forcesave filename Will overwrite an existing batch file without warning.
