run(1F) FMLI Commands run(1F)NAMErun - run an executable
SYNOPSISrun [ -s] [-e] [-n] [-t string] program
DESCRIPTION
The run command runs program, using the PATH variable to find it. By
default, when program has completed, the user is prompted (Press ENTER
to continue:), before being returned to FMLI. The argument program is
a system executable followed by its options (if any).
OPTIONS
The following options are supported:
-e If -e is specified, the user will be prompted
before returning to FMLI only if there is an
error condition
-n If -n is specified, the user will never be
prompted before returning to FMLI (useful for
programs like vi, in which the user must do
some specific action to exit in the first
place).
-s The -s option means "silent", implying that the
screen will not have to be repainted when pro‐
gram has completed. Note that the -s option
should only be used when program does not write
to the terminal. In addition, when -s is used,
program cannot be interrupted, even if it rec‐
ognizes interrupts.
-tstring If -t is specified, string is the name this
process will have in the pop-up menu generated
by the frm-list command. This feature requires
the executable facesuspend (see face(1)) to
suspend the process and return to the FMLI
application.
