  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`
