Short: Execute any UNIX script from DOS Shell-updated Author: Will Bow (wbow@crl.com) Uploader: Colin Thompson (colin@cts.com) Type: util/shell NOTICE: This is a minor update. While no bugs could be found in the original version, an oddity was pointed out by a user. If one was to simply enter EXECUTE at the DOS prompt and press RETURN, EXECUTE would attempt to get a lock on a non-existant file and failing that, prompt the user with "object is not of required type". This has been fixed. We have included the source with this distribution. Filename: Execute - Direct replacement for AmigaDOS Execute command. Purpose: Allows execution of any UNIX script from the AmigaDOS Shell. This is a direct replacement of the DOS command Execute. From the DOS Shell, you can execute any UNIX shell script. It passes the script on to the specified interpreter for execution. Usually, #!/bin/sh, but may be awk, sed, perl etc .... If the 'S' bit on the script is set, the script can be executed by simply typing the script_file_name at the DOS prompt. Execute will not interfere with the normal operation of Amiga DOS or Arexx scripts. Requirements: OS 2.04 and up. Any Amiga. Ixemul.library is not required. Installation: Rename the existing AmigaDOS Execute command. (for safety) Copy the new file to the same directory where the original Execute resided. (sys:c). This is IMPORTANT because the system depends on Execute for normal system startup. The file is residentable. Note: This command is implemented as a wedge into the original AmigaDOS Execute command and is completely system transparent.
