- You can execute a command when creating a DECterm window, but the command
- should be passed as a P1 parameter not as a /INPUT qualifier. Note that this
- only works in non-detached mode. The DECterm window will disappear after the
- command has completed.
-
- $ CREATE /TERMINAL /NODETACH @EXIT.COM
-
- I've used this method to start DECterm windows on our VAXcluster Console.
-
- $ CREATE /TERMINAL /NODETACH VCS CONNECT 'node'
-
- In this case, the DECterm window will stay around as long as you don't exit
- the VCS CONNECT program. In order to use the DECwindow Session Manager's
- autostart feature, the process which executes the CREATE/TERMINAL must also
- stay around since the DECterm window is a subprocess not a detached process.
- I ended up suspending the parent process after executing the CREATE/TERMINAL
- command.
