Remote BASH Execution

BASH shell script files are recognized as text files in Distributed NetBeans and can be created, edited, and executed from within the IDE.  These files have the extension .sh.

Creating a new BASH .sh file

   To create a new .sh file from within the IDE, use the BASH template found on the New/All Templates menu.


Remote execution of BASH .sh files

   To execute a .sh script on the OpenVMS machine, right click on the .sh file in Filesystems, then select Remote Execute.  (This assumes that the GNV_SETUP.COM procedure has been run in the user account on OpenVMS to define the BASH command.)

      

The Use Xterm for Execution property is set to False by default. Your application will automatically point the display at your desktop system. Setting Use Xterm for Execution to True is useful if you want to view terminal output from your OpenVMS system, or if you want to prompt the user for input. For more information, see Remote Options.
