Interactively

Entering FUP commands within FUP (interactively) saves time if you are going to enter

a series of commands. Type the term FUP (without any commands or options) at the

TACL prompt, and press the RETURN key to start an interactive FUP process:

The FUP process is ready to receive commands interactively when its sign-on banner

and prompt (a hyphen) are first displayed. You can then type a FUP command at each

subsequent FUP prompt:

After FUP executes the command, the FUP prompt reappears. Type another FUP

command at the subsequent prompt, or use the EXIT command to return control of the

terminal from FUP to TACL:

From a Command File

Starting a FUP process with a command file is useful if you frequently run the same

series of FUP commands. You can also process FUP commands within an interactive

FUP session using the OBEY command.

Command Files

To create a command file that contains FUP commands, use a text editor (such as

TEDIT). This example shows a command file (ALLSUBS):

-- FUP commands for obtaining a list of all

-- subvolumes in $DISK1, $DISK2, and $DISK3

-- Last modified 5/17/01

SUBVOLS $DISK1 -- Contains manufacturing files

SUBVOLS $DISK2 -- Contains administrative files

SUBVOLS $DISK3 -- Contains all other files

The example command file (ALLSUBS) uses a FUP command (SUBVOLS) to list the

subvolumes in three different disk volumes ($DISK1, $DISK2, and $DISK3). It also

includes comment lines to help identify the file and explain the operations that are

performed.

Note. You can enter two dashes (--) or a less-than symbol (<) to indicate a comment. FUP

ignores any text that follows these punctuation marks until the end of the command line.
