scotty
scotty - A Tcl shell including the Tnm extensions.
SYNOPSIS
scotty ?fileName arg arg ...?
_________________________________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
scotty is a Tcl interpreter with extensions to obtain sta
tus and configuration information about TCP/IP networks.
After startup, scotty evaluates the commands stored in
.scottyrc and .tclshrc in the home directory of the user.
SCRIPT FILES
If scotty is invoked with arguments then the first argu
ment is the name of a script file and any additional argu
ments are made available to the script as variables (see
below). Instead of reading commands from standard input
scotty will read Tcl commands from the named file; scotty
will exit when it reaches the end of the file.
If you create a Tcl script in a file whose first line is
#!/usr/local/bin/scotty2.1.11
then you can invoke the script file directly from your
shell if you mark the file as executable. This assumes
that scotty has been installed in the default location in
/usr/local/bin; if it's installed somewhere else then
you'll have to modify the above line to match. Many UNIX
systems do not allow the #! line to exceed about 30 char
acters in length, so be sure that the scotty executable
can be accessed with a short file name.
An even better approach is to start your script files with
the following three lines:
#!/bin/sh
# the next line restarts using scotty \
exec scotty2.1.11 "$0" "$@"
This approach has three advantages over the approach in
the previous paragraph. First, the location of the scotty
binary doesn't have to be hard-wired into the script: it
can be anywhere in your shell search path. Second, it
gets around the 30-character file name limit in the previ
ous approach. Third, this approach will work even if
scotty is itself a shell script (this is done on some sys
tems in order to handle multiple architectures or operat
ing systems: the scotty script selects one of several
binaries to run). The three lines cause both sh and
scotty to process the script, but the exec is only exe
cuted by sh. sh processes the script first; it treats
the second line as a comment and executes the third line.
The exec statement cause the shell to stop processing and
argv Contains a Tcl list whose elements are
the arg arguments, in order, or an empty
string if there are no arg arguments.
argv0 Contains fileName if it was specified.
Otherwise, contains the name by which
scotty was invoked.
tcl_interactive Contains 1 if scotty is running interac
tively (no fileName was specified and
standard input is a terminal-like
device), 0 otherwise.
PROMPTS
When scotty is invoked interactively it normally prompts
for each command with ``% ''. You can change the prompt
by setting the variables tcl_prompt1 and tcl_prompt2. If
variable tcl_prompt1 exists then it must consist of a Tcl
script to output a prompt; instead of outputting a prompt
scotty will evaluate the script in tcl_prompt1. The vari
able tcl_prompt2 is used in a similar way when a newline
is typed but the current command isn't yet complete; if
tcl_prompt2 isn't set then no prompt is output for incom
plete commands.
