- Syntax:
- *AppEnsure [-Title] <title> [-Command] <command>
-
- <title> is the name of the task, as listed in the task
- managers' task display
-
- <command> is a CLI command that is executed if the specified
- task is not currently active.
-
-
- Example Usage
- =============
-
- In an Obey file, instead of
-
- Filer_Run Resources:$.Apps.!Draw
-
- you'd use
-
- AppEnsure Draw "Filer_Run Resources:$.Apps.!Draw"
-
-
- Ie for each "project" you have an Obey file that loads up
- your editors, various modules, sets up system variables,
- opens filer windows etc. etc. Without this applet every time
- one of these "project" Obey files is executed a new copy of
- the application(s) would be loaded.
-
-
- Note
- ====
-
- AppEnsure starts up as a (wimp) application if it needs to
- execute the command --- but immediately commits suicide. Thus
- you can't use this from inside a (non-wimp) application!
