NAME
cmdtool - run a shell (or other program) in an OpenWindows
enhanced terminal window
SYNOPSIS
cmdtool [ -C ] [ -M bytes ] [ -P count ] [ -B boldstyle ] [
-I command ]
[ generic-tool-arguments ] [ program [ program-
arguments ] ]
DESCRIPTION
Cmdtool is the standard OpenWindows support facility for
shells and other programs. When invoked, cmdtool runs a
program (usually a shell) in a text-based command window.
Characters typed on the keyboard are inserted at the caret.
If the program is a shell, that shell accepts and runs com-
mands in the usual manner. Cmdtool also supports programs
that perform cursor motions directly, such as vi(1).
The text of the current command line can be edited using
normal textedit(1) functions. The command window displays a
log of the session, which can be scrolled through using the
scrollbar (unless the escape command mode is in effect).
This log can be edited, and saved by choosing the `Store as
New File' item in the text facility's pop-up menu.
Cmdtool's log file has a default wrap-around value of
100,000 bytes. When the size of the log file exceeds this
value, text at the top of the file is lost as new text is
added at the insertion point. The default value can be
changed with the -M option or by placing the following line
in the user's ~/.Xdefaults file:
cmdtool.maxLogFileSize: max_size
OPTIONS
-C Console cmdtool. Redirect system console out-
put to this cmdtool. Display console mes-
sages in this cmdtool, which might otherwise
appear in unexpected places on the worksta-
tion screen. Since a cmdtool window can be
scrolled, console error messages can be
recorded for later examination.
-M bytes Set the log file /tmp/tty.txt.pid to wrap-
around after the indicated number of bytes
where the default value is 100,000 bytes.
When the size of the log file exceeds this
value, text at the beginning of the file is
lost as new text is added at the insertion
point. The log file contains editing charac-
ters as well as text so the number of
characters in the cmdtool log itself may be
less than the size of the log file. Also, the
process size of the cmdtool is not limited to
the indicated number of bytes .
-P count Checkpoint the log after every set of count
editing operations.
-B boldstyle Set the style for displaying bold text to
boldstyle. boldstyle can be a string speci-
fying one of the choices for the
term.boldstyle default, or it may be a numer-
ical value for one of those choices, from 0
to 8, corresponding to the placement of the
choice in the list.
-I command Pass command to the shell. SPACE characters
within the command must be escaped.
generic-tool-arguments
cmdtool accepts the generic tool arguments
listed in xview(7).
program [ program-arguments ]
If a program argument is present, cmdtool
runs it and passes any remaining arguments to
that program. If no program is given,
cmdtool runs the program indicated by the
SHELL environment variable, or /bin/sh by
default.
USAGE
.Xdefaults File Options
You can specify a number of defaults using the options in
the .Xdefaults file that effect the behavior of cmdtool.
The ones of interest are those that begin with text,term, or
keyboard. See xview(7) for more detailed information.
cmdtool Windows
The window created by cmdtool is based on the text facility
that is described in the textedit man page. The user is
given a prompt at which to type commands and pop-up menus
from which to select command options.
cmdtool windows support cursor motions, using an
/etc/terminfo entry called sun-cmd . Command windows
automatically set the TERM environment variable to sun-cmd.
So, if you rlogin(1) to a machine that does not have an
entry for sun-cmd in its /etc/terminfo file, the error mes-
sage `Type sun-cmd unknown' results. To rectify this, type
the command set TERM=sun. Programs written using the
curses(3X) library packages will work in a command window,
but programs hard-coded for sun-type terminals may not. When
supporting a program that performs cursor motions, the com-
mand window automatically takes on the characteristics of a
tty window (as with shelltool(1)). When that program ter-
minates or sleeps, the full command window functionality is
restored.
cmdtool supports programs that use CBREAK and NO ECHO termi-
nal modes. This support is normally invisible to the user.
However, programs that use RAW mode, such as rlogin(1) and
script(1), inhibit command-line editing with the mouse. In
this case, however, tty-style ERASE, word-kill and line-kill
characters can still be used to edit the current command
line.
The cmdtool Menu
The cmdtool window menu is called the Term Pane menu and
contains the following options and their submenus:
History Creates a a list of commands used during the
cmdtool session.
Mode
Editable You can edit the contents of
the window.
Read Only You can only read from the
window.
Store Log as new file
Create a new file that contains the con-
tents of the log.
Clear log Clears all entries from the log.
Edit Provides a set of editing functions for this win-
dow.
Again Repeats the last action.
Undo
Undo Last Edit
Undoes the last edit made in
cmdtool .
Undo All Edits
Undoes all edits made during
this session of cmdtool .
Copy Makes a copy of the selected text and
places it on the clipboard.
Paste Pastes a copy of the text stored on the
clipboard at the cursor location.
Cut Deletes the selected text.
Find Provides a set of find and replace functions.
Find and Replace
Brings up a pop-up menu containing text
fields and command buttons that allow
you to search forward and backward
through the file being edited for
specific text strings. Allows you to
specify options for the replacement of
text.
Find Selection
Forward Searches forward to find a
selected text string.
Backward Searches backward to find a
selected text string.
Find Marked Text
Brings up a pop-up menu that allows you
to find text that is included between
specified bracket pairs. Also allows you
to insert or remove bracket pairs around
selected text.
Replace |>field<| >
Allows you to replace selected text for-
ward and backward throughout the file.
Extras A user-definable pull-right menu controlled by the
/usr/openwin/lib/locale/C/xview/.text_extras_menu
file. This can be overridden in two ways:
1) Change the value of the .Xdefaults parameter
text.extrasMenuFilename to the correct file path.
2) Set the environment variable EXTRASMENU to the
file desired.
Note that option 1 overrides option 2 if both are
used. For more information see the OpenWindows
user documentation.
File Editor
Enable Allows you to edit files from within
cmdtool.
Disable Turns off the ability to edit files from
within cmdtool.
Scrolling
Enables Scrolling
Enables scrolling within cmdtool.
Disable Scrolling
Turns off the ability to scroll within
cmdtool. Once scrolling in cmdtool is
disabled, its functionality is identical
to shelltool and a more restricted menu
appears. Selecting the Enable Scrolling
option from the restricted menu restores
the full menu and functionality of
cmdtool.
User Defined Keyboard Remapping
The file ~/.textswrc specifies filter programs that are
assigned to (available) function keys. These filters are
applied to the contents of the primary selection. Their
output is entered at the caret.
Accelerators
Text facility accelerators that are especially useful in
command windows are described here. See textedit(1) for
more information.
CTRL-RETURN Position the caret at the bottom, and
scroll it into view as determined by
Text.LowerContext.
CAPS-lock
Toggle between all-upper-case keyboard input, and mixed-
case.

BUGS
Typing ahead while cmdtool changes between its scrollable
and cursor motion modes will sometimes freeze cmdtool.
Full terminal emulation is not complete. Some manifesta-
tions of this deficiency are:
o File completion in the C shell does not work.
o Enhanced display of text is not supported.
NOTES
The OpenWindows environment may no longer be supported in a
future release. You may want to migrate to CDE, the Common
Desktop Environment.
