Command Files
On the FSVIEW command line, an at character (@) followed by a filename indicates that the named file contains FSVIEW commands.
If you use a file to supply FSVIEW commands, the file must be an ASCII text file.
Within the FSVIEW command file:
- Commands should be separated by spaces.
- Line ends are treated as spaces but a new command must start on a new line.
- Any text between an exclamation mark (!) and the line end is treated as a comment.
The following example shows an FSVIEW command file that identifies a file and lists the users currently accessing it:
! Demo of fsview command file
! Identify file and list its users
option upcase
option no-echo
admin logon FSVIEW MFTEST
server set NWB-GLEN
server get
users get
files get
file get-users F:\testing\fsvtests\fresh\testfile1.dat
user-file close 7 F:\testing\fsvtests\fresh\testfile1.dat
users get
files get
exit
! All done
Note that if your command file does not use the FSVIEW exit command, you will remain in FSVIEW after the file has been executed.
