- Short: Execute any UNIX script from DOS Shell-updated
- Author: Will Bow (wbow@crl.com)
- Uploader: Colin Thompson (colin@cts.com)
- Type: util/shell
-
- NOTICE: This is a minor update. While no bugs could be found in
- the original version, an oddity was pointed out by a user.
-
- If one was to simply enter EXECUTE at the DOS prompt and
- press RETURN, EXECUTE would attempt to get a lock on a
- non-existant file and failing that, prompt the user with
- "object is not of required type".
-
- This has been fixed. We have included the source with
- this distribution.
-
- Filename: Execute - Direct replacement for AmigaDOS Execute command.
-
- Purpose: Allows execution of any UNIX script from the AmigaDOS Shell.
-
- This is a direct replacement of the DOS command Execute.
- From the DOS Shell, you can execute any UNIX shell script.
- It passes the script on to the specified interpreter
- for execution. Usually, #!/bin/sh, but may be awk, sed,
- perl etc ....
-
- If the 'S' bit on the script is set, the script can be
- executed by simply typing the script_file_name at the
- DOS prompt.
-
- Execute will not interfere with the normal operation of
- Amiga DOS or Arexx scripts.
-
- Requirements: OS 2.04 and up. Any Amiga.
- Ixemul.library is not required.
-
- Installation: Rename the existing AmigaDOS Execute command. (for safety)
- Copy the new file to the same directory where the original
- Execute resided. (sys:c). This is IMPORTANT because the
- system depends on Execute for normal system startup.
-
- The file is residentable.
-
- Note: This command is implemented as a wedge into the original
- AmigaDOS Execute command and is completely system transparent.
