run(1F) 							   FMLI Commands							   run(1F)

NAME

       run - run an executable

SYNOPSIS

       run [-s] [-e] [-n] [-t string] program

DESCRIPTION

       The run command runs program, using the PATH variable to find it. By default, when program has completed, the user is prompted (Press ENTER
       to continue:), before being returned to FMLI. The argument program is a system executable followed by its options (if any).

OPTIONS

       The following options are supported:

       -e	   If -e is specified, the user is prompted before returning to FMLI only if there is an error condition

       -n	   If -n is specified, the user is never prompted before returning to FMLI (useful for programs like vi, in which the user must do
		   some specific action to exit in the first place).

       -s	   The	-s option means "silent", implying that the screen does not have to be repainted when program has completed. The -s option
		   should only be used when program does not write to the terminal. In addition, when -s is used, program cannot  be  interrupted,
		   even if it recognizes interrupts.

       -tstring    If -t is specified, string is the name this process has in the pop-up menu generated by the frm-list command.
