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 will be prompted before returning to FMLI only if there is an error condition
-n If -n is specified, the user will never be 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 will not have to be repainted when program has completed.
Note that 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 will have in the pop-up menu generated by the frm-list command.
This feature requires the executable facesuspend (see face(1)) to suspend the process and return to the FMLI appli-
cation.
