DESCRIPTION
sendMRC routinely sends an
MRC command to DASes through
output, which usually specifies the IP address of the DC.
sendMRC may require two parameter files.
One contains all DAS IDs existing in the RT system -
parameter-file
(
pkt.pf is default) and the second one contains command parameters -
mrcpar-file (
mcr.pf is default ).
OPTIONS
-
-d dasid
Send an MRC only to a das with a dasid number.
By default send command to all DASes which exist in RT system.
-
-o mrcpar-file
A parameter file mrcpar-file
will be used to select all constants for an MRC command, such as
number of times to repeat command, timeout between commands sent to one das,
timeout between command send to different dases, etc.
A mrc.pf parameter file is used by default.
-
-p parameter-file
A parameter file parameter-file
will be used to select all possible DAS IDs in a RT system.
A pkt.pf parameter file is used by default.
-
-s staname
Send an MRC only to a station with a staname name.
By default send command to all DASes which exist in RT system.
-
-R
Send 'DC RESET' command to specified DC.
-
-t timeout
This option is valid only for a socket connection and specifies the number of
seconds to wait for data on a connected socket before closing the socket and
opening a new connection. Default value is 5 seconds.
-
-V verbatim
Save command buffer in a verbatim file before sending it to DAS.
-
-v
Be more verbose.
-
start-time window
Specifies a time range of the sendMRC process to be active.
EXAMPLE
Send an MRC command with options specified in tmrc.pf
to all DASes in toro.pf starting on "6/6/97 1:00" GMT time via
the DC port on IP address 132.239.4.194.
sendMRC -o tmrc -p toro 132.239.4.194 "6/6/97 1:00"
Send an immediate MRC recenter command to DAS with ID number - 446 via
the DC port on address 132.239.4.196, using standard command settings.
sendMRC -d 446 132.239.4.194 now
PARAMETER FILE
start_time 6/5/97 1:00 # when to start
num_repeats 2 # number times to send command for one das
timeout_btw_onedas 300 # number of sec between commands to a single DAS
timeout_btw_dases 5 # number of min between commands to subsequent DASes
