Description
Because this command runs a foreground job, it is valid for multi-job monitors only.
Before you run a foreground job, make sure you load into memory the device handlers
your foreground job needs. See the Introduction to RT–11 for an explanation of how
to run a foreground job.
Requirements of a Foreground Job
You should be aware of the following three points on the memory requirements of a
foreground job:
• You can run only one foreground job at a time. So, if a foreground job is active
when you issue the FRUN command, an error message displays on the terminal.
• If a terminated foreground job is occupying memory, RT–11 reclaims that region
for your next FRUN job.
• Use the UNLOAD command:
— When you want to run a second foreground job and you do not need the
handlers the first job used. This command can free the memory space
occupied by a terminated foreground job. If any handers were loaded just for
the terminated foreground job, they can also be unloaded with the UNLOAD
command.
