LISTREDO and REDO
The LISTREDO and REDO commands allow you to quickly repeat previously entered commands. The
REDO command allows the last command entered to be modified and re-executed. To repeat the
previously typed command simply type
REDO at the NBSpool prompt, modify the line using
standard
EDITOR commands, and enter a carriage return to execute the command. The REDO
command can also be used with the LISTREDO command.
The
LISTREDO command displays a list of previously entered commands. To repeat a command that
appears in the list, enter the
REDO command followed by the number that appeared next to the
LISTREDO command’s display.
START and STOP
The START
command starts the background execution of various
NBSPOOL services such as BOOTP
and UNIX receiving. With this command, additional jobs for the running of these services are
unnecessary.
Once a background service is started, it remains running until either a
STOP command is executed,
or the
QUIT command is detected. If NBSPOOL is run from a job, it will suspend when the EXIT
command is executed unless all background services are explicitly stopped.
The
STOP command stops the specified background services. These services are terminated
immediately. For
BOOTP, this command must be executed from the same NBSpool process that
originally started the background
BOOTP service. Any user with OP capability can stop the RECV or
LPD processes.
