Adding Commands to the Execute Menu
To add your own commands to the Execute menu:
-
From the main window's Commands menu, choose Configure, which opens the
Configure dialog box.
From the Category option menu,
choose a command category, or choose New to create a new one. Choosing New
(even if it is already visible, you must click on the word "New") opens the Script Category Mgmt dialog box. Choose Add
Category from the option menu, type a new category in that dialog box, and click
on OK. The category you choose is the category the new command will belong to.
From the Operation
option menu, choose New Command.
Click in the Command field and type a command name. Use no more than 50 characters
consisting of letters, numbers, spaces, commas, underscores (_), and percent
signs (%).
Click in the Executable
field and type the full path of the command's executable file; for example, /staff3/bin/print_page. Use no more than 50
characters consisting of letters, numbers, commas, periods, slashes (/),
underscores (_), and percent signs (%).
If you choose Yes, when the
command is run, a window opens containing the command's output.
Click on your choice and the radio
button will change to another color.
-
If the command takes flags, click on the Flag button to open the
Flag dialog box.
-
If the command takes arguments, click on the Argument button to open the
Argument dialog box.
The Apply button applies any changes you made.
The Reset button clears all the fields in the Configure window.
The Close button closes the dialog box without applying any changes.
