Hi Noman,
I can only partially help you with the script issue. Alex Johnson wrote a
very good analysis of the problems that may occur when using "applic" on
3/23/00.
One of the key points was to always use the ampersand character after your
command line.

#### QUOTED TEXT FROM ALEX JOHNSON's email of 3/23/00 ####
1) Put the & at the end of all commands that are invoked by applic. In your
example, you should
write:
:C0WP04DMCMD := "dmcmd applic /opt/home/frits/hello.scr &";
not
:C0WP04DMCMD := "dmcmd applic /opt/home/frits/hello.scr &";
2) Use
dmcmd run /bin/rexec $TMHST <pgm> <arg1> ... <argn>
I rather like the second one because I am quite likely to forget to add an
ampersand (&) to the end of
ALL of my applics. This failure would result in a subtle error. I hate
subtle errors!
Whereas, the second approach does not lend itself to subtle errors. Only
major ones which are easy to find ones.

Hope this helps, (if not maybe Alex will let me re-send the entire email)
