- On the subject of doing a
-
- $ RUN/DETACHED SYS$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT ...
-
- (sic), I always thought that looked funny and so I always got MY "detached
- process running a CLI" by doing, instead,
-
- $ RUN/DETACHED SYS$SYSTEM:DCL ...
-
- ...with /INPUT directed as appropriate for whatever I was trying to do that
- day, and so forth.
-
- A colleague of mine who is widely considered a VAX and VMS guru (he helps
- DEC debug stuff in his spare time) looked at the latter command, chastised
- me, and said that the former command (w/LOGINOUT) was the "proper" way to
- do it.
-
- If this is a misconception, then by golly it's a wide-ranging, popular, and
- deep-running one.
