RUN(1F) (Form and Menu Language Interpreter Utilities) RUN(1F)
NAME
run - run an executable
SYNOPSIS
run [-s] [-e] [-n] [-t title] program
DESCRIPTION
The run command runs a program, using the PATH variable to
find it. The -s option means "silent", implying that the
screen will not have to be repainted when this is done. The
-e option means to prompt the user before returning to the
Interpreter only if there is an error condition (by default
the user is always prompted). The -n means never prompt the
user (useful for programs like vi which the user must do
some specific action to exit in the first place). The -t
option gives the name this process will have in the pop-up
menu generated by the frm-list command. This option implies
the ability to suspend the UNIX process and return to the
FMLI application.
EXAMPLE
Here is a menu that uses run:
menu="Edit special System files"
name="Password file"
action=`run -e vi /etc/passwd`
name="Group file"
action=`run -e vi /etc/group`
name="My .profile"
action=`run -n vi $HOME/.profile`
