Execute commands from a file.

Syntax

run file-spec

Command Switches
-ignore
-log

Parameters

file-spec

Name of the file to read commands from.

Description

The run command reads lines from the specified file and then interprets the lines as commands and executes them. Any command recognized by this utility can be specified, including the run command itself. By default, if an error is encountered, it is reported and processing of the file is aborted. Specify -ignore to cause processing to continue when errors are encountered and reported. The -log switch command can be used to cause the commands to be echoed to the terminal as they are executed.

Command Switches

-ignore

-noignore (default)

By default, processing of commands from the input file is aborted when an error is encountered. This behavior corresponds to the -noignore switch. Specify -ignore to cause command processing to not abort when an error occurs.

-log

-nolog (default)

When -log is specified, each command is echoed to the terminal as it is executed.

Examples

To process the commands from the file doit.com, issue the command

popstore> run doit.com

To cause the commands to be echoed to the screen, instead use the command

popstore> run -log doit.com
