Chapter 3: Loading and Executing Programs
Accessing the UNIX Operating System
To execute a UNIX command
• Using the command line, enter:
Debugger Host_Shell
Type in the UNIX command, and press the < Return> key.
When using the graphical interface, a terminal emulation window will be
opened and the UNIX command will be executed in that window (as specified
by the "shellCommand" X resource).
When using the standard interface, stdout from the command is written to the
journal window. stderr is not captured. Commands writing to stderr will
corrupt the display. Interactive UNIX commands cannot be used in this mode.
Examples
To display the current working directory, enter:
Debugger Host_Shell pwd
115
