Making Your Own Commands Search Path for Commands

Search Path for Commands
Before the Site Controller can execute a disk-based command, it must locate it. The Site
Controller looks for disk-based commands in certain directories in a certain order. This order
is called the search path. The Site Controller executes the first command it finds that matches
the command name given.
Standard Search Path for a CFN3 application
(The paths shown above are the default. You can configure a different path with menu page 7
of the SYS_PAR program, as explained in MDE-4773 CFN III Configuration Manual for
Windows XP).
A command file (.CMD extension) with the same name as a regular executable command
(.BIN extension) will not be executed if the .BIN file is in the same place on the search path.
The .BIN file will be executed instead because .BIN files have precedence over .CMD files.
For example, if TREE.BIN and TREE.CMD are in the directory BIN, when you type TREE,
TREE.BIN will be executed.
How to Execute User Command Files
To execute a user command file, type the file’s name without the extension. If the command
file is not in the search path, you must type the pathname of the command.
