Command Line Interface
The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides access to SpectroSERVER in situations
where it is not possible or not desirable to use SpectroGRAPH’s graphical user
interface. One such situation is the use of a character-based terminal to remotely
access SpectroSERVER.
Known CLI Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.5
Problem 1: When using the “-a” switch (create event alarm), it can
sometimes take longer for the event to appear in the event list. The
command exits successfully (0) but displays no output. If the user
attempts a subsequent show events command on the model handle (if no
model handle was given, is set as current, or a landscape handle was used,
and then execute the show events command on the user’s model handle),
the event will show up.
Solution: This problem will be corrected in a future release of
SPECTRUM.
Problem 2: In SPECTRUM 6.0.3 it is possible to perform an installation of
the Command Line Interface tools on a SpectroSERVER-only workstation.
However, the “-x” switch to show alarms and show events does not
provide the normal alarm Cause or Event format information because the
SG-Support/CsPCause and SG-Support/CsEvFormat files do not exist in
the <$SPECROOT> directory. Possible errors messages are:
no cause information available (associated with show alarms)
no event format information available (associated with show
events)
Solution: This missing functionality may be restored by copying the SG-
Support/CsPCause and SG-Support/CsEvFormat directories and files to
$SPECROOT/SG-Support on the SpectroSERVER workstation. This
problem will be corrected in future release of SPECTRUM.
