Command Line Interface (CLI)
The Command Line Interface (CLI) provides access to the SpectroSERVER in
situations where it is not possible or not desirable to use the SpectroGRAPH graphical
user interface. One such situation is the use of a character-based terminal to remotely
access the SpectroSERVER.
Known CLI Anomalies in SPECTRUM 6.0.3
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, set as current or a landscape handle was used,
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.
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. This4
problem will be corrected in future release of SPECTRUM.
Problem 3: When executing a show attributes command on a specific
model with many list attributes, the values and iid’s of the list attributes
do not coincide with the values returned from the show attributes
command when the list attribute is specified.
Solution: This problem will be fixed in a future release of SPECTRUM.
