Run (Batch Execution Command)​

Description​

This command is used to run multiple commands in sequence by reading the commands line-by-line from an external file. For example the run command given below will execute commands present in filename. If there is an error on running a command at a given line, all commands after that will not be executed and the run command fails by giving the line number of the command in which error occurred.

note
  • File name given as input to run command is fetched from the /Files/Batch_Execution_Files/ directory and hence are required to be placed in that folder.

Syntax​

run <filename>
tip
  • This is useful to execute multiple commonly used commands while debugging.
  • We can use folders within /Files/Batch_Execution_Files/ to organize the run files. In that case, run folder_name/run_file format can be used.

Echo​

Description​

This command is used to echo back the message given as argument to the command line.

tip

This is useful while debugging in combination with the run command.

Syntax​

echo <any message>
