To use the
rc
command you need to sp ecify two things: the name of the device to be
controlled (the same name used with
rctrain
) and the function(s) to be executed.
Both of these can b e given on the command line as in:
rc -r DTC75-ES play
The name after the
-r
option gives the device name. The remaining words on the
command line are the commands to b e executed.
Multiple commands may be given in which case they will b e executed sequentially:
rc -r DTC75-ES stop rewind play
If the same device is used repeatedly, its name may b e omitted from the command
line by setting the environmentvariable,
DL RC
. If you are using the c-shell (
csh
),
then the commands:
setenv DL_RC DTC75-ES
rc stop rewind play
perform the same function as the previous example. The
DL RC
variable maybe
set in your login script
1
. Note that this variable
must
be set to use the automatic
options to
naplay
and
narecord
since they do not provide an option to set the

.login for
csh
users or .prole for
sh
and
ksh
users
