DECUS Essential Tools Collection, 1996 for OpenVMS Alpha and OpenVMS VAX (VS0174)
Copyright © 1992--1995, MadGoat Software. All rights reserved.
This kit contains all the files necessary for installing MadGoat
Software's GETCMD utility. Requires VMS V5.0 or later (VAX) or
OpenVMS Alpha V1.0 or later.
GETCMD.B32 is a BLISS-32 program that will display the DCL command
recall buffer for any interactive process on the system.
BUILDING
--------
To build GETCMD, just execute the LINK.COM procedure:
$ @LINK
If you have BLISS and want to build from the sources, an MMS file is
provided in [.SOURCE].
USAGE
-----
To set up GETCMD, just define a foreign symbol to run it:
$ getcmd :== $dev:[dir]getcmd.exe
where "dev:[dir]" is the device and directory where GETCMD lives.
To use it, simply specify a PID on the command line:
$ getcmd 202000AF
Qualifiers that may be specified are /PAGE, to do pause the output
after each full screen, and /OUTPUT=xxx, to redirect the output to a
file.
LIMITATIONS
-----------
GETCMD will not yet work with processes on other nodes in a cluster,
though this functionality is planned for a future release.
