UCF command syntax

The syntax of a UCF command is as follows:

NetView uses the runcmd utility to send a command to a remote system. The command includes the following parameters:

sp=spname

Specify spname, which is the name of your service point as defined at NetView. The host NetView personnel can give you this information.

appl=unix

Instruct NetView to send the command to the UCF daemon program on the CS Linux computer associated with the service point name spname.

unix_command

Supply the Linux operating system command. This command is entered as you would enter it on the Linux command line, except for the escape characters to indicate uppercase letters or square bracket characters (as described in Overview of RCF command syntax).

The escape characters you would normally use on the Linux command line, to prevent the Linux shell from interpreting special characters, are not required with UCF. For example, do not use escape characters with strings containing the characters * or $, as you would when entering them on the Linux command line.
