NAME

psh − NeWS POSTSCRIPT shell

SYNOPSIS

psh [ files ]

DESCRIPTION

If a files argument is specified, psh opens a connection to the server and transmits the specified files to the server.  If no files argument is specified, or if ‘-’ is specified, psh opens a connection to the server and transmits stdin to the server.  Any output from NeWS is copied to stdout.  The files should be POSTSCRIPT programs for the NeWS server to execute. 

A common use for psh is in creating applications written entirely in the POSTSCRIPT language.  First, type your POSTSCRIPT program into a file.  Then, add this as its first line: #! /usr/NeWS/bin/psh If you now make the file executable (with chmod), you can invoke it by name from the shell, and UNIX will use /usr/NeWS/bin/psh to execute it.  psh will in turn send your program to the X11/NeWS server.

BUGS

If #! /usr/NeWS/bin/psh is the first line, the script or file is implementation or installation dependent.
