Running a Batch Job via the Unix/Linux Command Line - Finalist - 10.0

To execute Finalist via a Unix/Linux command line:

1. Navigate to the directory containing the Finalist executable (typically /precisely/finalist/bin).
2. Execute the Finalist batch driver by issuing the command:

   ./finalist

3. The syntax for parameters passed into the batch driver is as follows:

   Usage: finalist jobfile | -j jobfile [-g configfile][-l logfile][-c][-k][-v] [noconfirm][nokeypress][?][-h?]

   Where:

   Parameter	Description
   jobfile	Job file name (argument).
   -j jobfile	Job file name (option).
   -g configfile	PBFN configuration file name.
   -l logfile	Log file name.
   -q	Do not print 'Processing record.
   -c	Overlay will occur without confirmation.
   -k	Processing will terminate without user intervention.
   -v	Display PBFN version information.
   noconfirm	(like -c) Overlay will occur without confirmation.
   nokeypress	(like -k) Processing will end without user intervention.
   ?	Display PBFN version information.

   • A job file name must be specified either as an argument to the command line or using the -j option.
   • If the -c configfile option is not used, the default config file ./pbfn.cfg is used, unless a config file name is given in the job file.
   • The default log file is the job file name with a .log extension.
   • The default is to confirm overlay.
   • The default is to prompt for a key stroke before terminating.
   • Options and arguments can be in upper case, but file names are case sensitive.
