3.2 Starting the RJE Workstation

The snarjewks command starts the RJE workstation. The workstation does the following:

Sample command: snarjewks -s2 wks1

You must start the workstation on the computer for which it is configured, and the SNAP-IX software must be started on that computer. Consult your System Administrator if necessary, or refer to the SNAP-IX Administration Guide for information about RJE workstation configuration or about starting the SNAP-IX software.

3.2.1 Syntax

The syntax for the snarjewks command is:

snarjewks [ -sn ]wkst

3.2.2 Options

You can use the following option with the snarjewks command:

n

Where n is a decimal number (minimum 1), indicates that the workstation should stop after n minutes with no RJE activity. In other words, the workstation stops when none of the following have occurred for n minutes:

  • Jobs on the spool waiting to be submitted

  • RJE console commands

  • Output returned from the host

  • Console messages from the host

The workstation also stops, regardless of work waiting to be processed, if it loses contact with the local node and cannot re-establish contact within n minutes. This generally occurs because the local node has been stopped.

If this option is not used, the workstation continues to run indefinitely, even if no work arrives or it loses contact with the node; it must be stopped using the snarjestop command.

3.2.3 Parameters

You must use the following parameter with the snarjewks command:

wkst

Name of the RJE workstation to be started. This must be the name of an RJE workstation in the SNAP-IX configuration file, and your user ID must be in the group configured for this workstation; consult your System Administrator if necessary. The workstation name is not case sensitive.

3.2.4 Returned Messages

The syntax for the snarjewks command returned messages is:

RJE Workstation wkst has started

Other messages can be sent to standard error, indicating (for instance) the following:
