Hercules ctc windows

The default filename for the run-commands file is "hercules. Lines starting with ' ' are treated as "silent comments" and are thus not logged to the console. In addition to being able to execute any valid panel command including the 'sh' shell command via the run-commands file, an additional ' pause nnn ' command is supported in order to introduce a brief delay before reading and processing the next line in the file.

The value nnn can be any number from 1 to and specifies the number of seconds to delay before reading the next line. Creative use of the run-commands file can completely automate Hercules startup. To use the Hercules Automatic Operator facility, one first defines a "rule" consisting of a "target" and an associated "command".

The "target" is just a regular expression pattern used to match against the text of the various messages that Hercules issues as it runs. Whenever a match is found, the rule "fires" and its associated command is automatically issued.

It cannot be used for whatever messages the guest operating system may issue to any of its terminals. Defining a Rule To define a HAO rule, enter the command: hao target to define the rule's "target" match pattern a simple regular expression , followed by the command: hao command to define the rule's associated panel-command.

The target pattern is a simple regular expression value as defined by whatever regular expression facility your host build platform happens to support. For other supported build platforms it might be some other supported regular expression syntax. Check your host platform's programming documentation for further details. The associated command is whatever valid Hercules panel command you wish to issue in response to a message being issued that matches the given pattern target.

Other commands and limitations To delete a fully or partially defined HAO rule, first use the 'hao list' command to list all of the defined or partially defined rules, and then use the 'hao del nnn ' command to delete the specific rule identified by nnn.

All rules are assigned numbers as they are defined and are thus identified by their numeric value. Optionally, one may delete ALL defined or partially defined rules by issuing the command 'hao clear'.

The current implementation limits the total number of defined rules to Note that there is currently no way to define a command whose arguments vary based on actual message text.

That is to say, there is currently no way to say "Reply with the command 'devinit cuu filename' in response to message text 'HHCXXnnnI Device cuu intervention required. Only simple plain-text commands may be defined and issued. No automatic substitution is done based on message text although normal 'DEFSYM' symbol substitution is supported however, as that is a normal panel-command feature supported separately from the HAO.

All defined rules are checked for a match each time Hercules issues a message. There is no way to specify "stop processing subsequent rules". If a message is issued that matches two or more rules, each associated command is then issued in sequence. Thus the advice to choose your rules' target patterns carefully very much applies here.

Each end of the link has its own IP address which is distinct from the IP address of the driving system's real network adapter. If not, then follow the procedure for Linux 2. In Linux 2. Configuring the TUN interface The tun0 network interface in the driving system must be configured as a point-to-point link.

For this reason, Hercules provides a special program called hercifc to configure the tun0 network interface. This program is launched automatically by Hercules CTC device initialization.
