SEND Command

Use the SEND command to establish a new utility session with a utility and to send
text to it, or to send text to an existing utility session.

OPSYS [ SEND ]

session[=utility ] [ text ]

session

is a valid session name.

SEND

is optional. If

SEND

is specified and the session does not already exist, the

session is created.

A valid session name begins with an alphabetic character, followed by up to 19
letters, numbers, or underscores. The following are examples of valid session
names:

FUP1

MY_FUP_FOR_45_FILES

F_U_G_A_Z_I

FINLEY_KAREN

utility

is only required if the utility session is being created, and if the session name is
different from the utility name. If this parameter is specified, it must be directly
preceded by the equal sign (=). The equal sign must not be surrounded by spaces.
This parameter permits you to establish sessions with more than one instance of
the same utility by giving different sessions different names.

utility

is the actual valid name of the utility as defined in the NonStop

NET/MASTER MS configuration. It is limited to 12 characters.

text

is an optional parameter that specifies the text that is to be sent to the utility
session for processing.

Considerations

NonStop NET/MASTER MS only permits the SEND command to send text to existing
utility sessions that were created from your current environment using your current
Guardian user ID.

The SEND command sends text (which usually consists of a command) in response to
the utility’s command prompt. If there is no command prompt, either because the
utility is prompting for confirmation or because it is still processing previous
commands, the new text waits until the utility issues the next command prompt. Text
sent to a utility with the SEND command is processed in the order that it was sent.
