ARPUS/ce, Version 2.6.2 (03/10/05) (SCCS 1.6) _______________________________________________________________________________ cps [-d] <command> [<arg1> <arg2> ...] cps [-d] '<command> [<arg1> <arg2> ...]' "create Server Process" The "cps" command is used to create a new process and run a program in the process. The new process is disassociated with the current login and will continue to run after the invoking ce session ends. There are two syntaxes for cps. One accepts arguments to the command to be run to be separate tokens. The other allows you to enclose the command and it's arguments in a set of single or double quotes. This second form mimics the syntax of the cp command. -d Debug option. This option tells Ce to leave stdout and stderr for the created process pointing to it's own stdout and stderr. This is often the ceterm which started the ce. Output written to stdout and stderr may be viewed. "cps" does not run the specified command inside a shell. If you want the command to run within a shell, for example, to redirect standard output (which is a shell feature), you must include the shell as part of the command: cps "/bin/ksh -c '/bin/ls -al > /tmp/ls.stdout'" Note: The cps command will syntactically accept the -s and -w arguments from cpo although their effects may impact the disassociation of the process from the Ce session.
