CPS (CREATE_PROCESS_SERVER) *DM* -- Create process independent of login.
usage: cps pathname [-n name] [args ...]


FORMAT

  CPS pathname [options]


  CPS creates a process (without associated pads or windows) that runs
  regardless of whether or not any one is logged in.  This is desirable
  for utilities like the PRSVR (PRINT_SERVER) and NETMAN.  CPS may appear
  in any of the DM startup scripts.  You may prefer to issue the CPS
  command from the keyboard on selected occasions, however, rather than
  include this function in a startup script.

  The created process is assigned the subject identifier (SID)
  USER.SERVER.NONE.local_node regardless of the context in which the
  CPS command appears.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)       Specify file to be executed by the new process.


OPTIONS

  -N name          Assign process name 'name'.  If this option is omitted,
                   the process is not named.

  args . . .       Specify any arguments to be passed to the program
                   'pathname'.  If any of these arguments contain explicit
                   blanks, enclose those arguments in quotation marks.
