I'd like to eliminate assigned but unused variables,
so I'm looking for output that has single assignments
only.
I asked about this a couple days ago in the mvToolbox forum, and
was told that product should be able to help with this. That's
no surprise as it has a million
The DOS command in Universe takes a /c argument and then you can specify a
bat file like
DOS \c test.bat
What does \c mean? Are there other arguments like \z or \x that it can take?

From DOS/Windows days, which also uses the same /c (argument), I just
assumed it meant Command.

An educated guess would be that the DOS command invokes the command
processor (command.com in long-ago Windows, cmd.exe now) and passes the
\c (or is it /c?) to it.
If in Windows you open a CMD prompt, and type
cmd /?
you can see what options it accepts. My output includes:
/C
The /c is to close the command session when the supplied
process/batchfile completes. This returns you back to your originating
session of Universe.

then try DOS /K DIR
how come they don't document this and we have to make guesses?

Ummm ... it's not a UniVerse thing, it's a command prompt thing. Open up a
command prompt window, and type cmd /? And you'll see all the options.
/c means run the following command, then close the window
/k means run the following command, and keep the window open
There's a whole list of
This one in particular (the /K) is exactly what I need to debug an issue I'm
having.
A real world issue, in an actual program I'm actually writing at this very
moment.

call me a troll.)

I guess the thing is, people just don't learn Windows any more. Because it's

They actually do document these. Go to a command prompt and type:
cmd /?
Or
help cmd
(Both produce the same output)
Enjoy!

I mean they are not document in the Universe manuals for the DOS command
executable at TCL.
You only get the /c
It doesn't even tell you where to go to get more information.
Like There are other options, go to Dos and type cmd /?

I Tried doing the same with UV/Unix (except with the SH command).
Sh -c 'ls' gives me directory
Sh -k 'ls' gives a strange error: /bin/ls: /bin/ls: cannot execute binary
file
I don't have a DOS box to test DOS on, so what happened when you did DOS /K...?

The /k option is used to run a command (like a batch file) and keep the
command shell around for more commands. The only difference to the /c option is
that it does not immediately close after running your command. *nix doesn't
have a /k option (but might have a different one).
I suspect
OK, so it looks like it's just pushing to unix what is on the command line, and
So the -c is an option to the sh command. I'll have to look into this now as
well
As to whether any of the options are of any use, other than -c

Note that in Unix/Linux, the options available may depend on what shell
you're running (sh, bash, etc.).

yeah, they left that out. If you look at the docs for the SH. CSH, and VI
commands, they suggest that you look at the unix documentation on those
commands, but they don't mention it in the manual for DOS. Maybe they assumed
you would figure that out by looking at the VOC entry:
DOS

Oh wow.
Urm
So any command that requires input will hang, I got that, because it's not
actually opening an interactive session with *your process* but rather with the
server (or thereabouts).
So I just connected to the server and checked Task Manager and there are a lot
of processes
It depends... You are in DOS mode (as opposed to window mode). If you launch
anything that requires a graphical environment, it will launch that environment
as LocalSystem or something equivalent and you'll have a problem (you can
end-task in task-manager - you've probably already figured that
Thanks. What I was saying was that *if* you DOS /c cmd
And that cmd requires input, a task will be created that never dies, evidently.
Or perhaps it was because the cmd I was trying to use was ftp perhaps that's
the culprit that creates the undead task.
Once I killed all the jobs in the Windows
I had that same problem with FTP, but I was remote into the server at the time.
I figured the process hung, because
it triggered one of those program xxx wants to access the internet messages,
and was waiting for an operator to
Allow or Deny it.
Drove me nuts, I gave up trying to run an ftp
You are telling us a great story with a very unhappy ending for a tool
that may have been great in 1995. There is no market for a tool that runs
on telnet system no matter what great features it has or could have. That
would be like me telling you can code in Java using VI or EMACS. Or better
There's no market for a tool that runs on a telnet system.
Except I think Accuterm is still selling licenses. And it's essentially a tool
on a telnet.
I mean it's not UVShell. The enhancements are what sells it, for me at least.
