Executing Connect Commands from Another Program

AgIPCExp can also be used to receive a series of Connect commands from another program. The other program should print the Connect commands to the screen (STDOUT) using Connect syntax.

To begin Connect connection to another program using a telnet socket, type the following in a shell:

<ProgramName> | AgIPCExp [ -t <WorkstationName>:<SocketNumber> ] [ -b <BufferSize> ]

Use the -b <bufferSize> option to set the input prompt buffer size larger than the default size of 1024.

The command shown above is the base form of AgIPCExp for this purpose. AgIPCExp has other options available, as described in Executing Multiple Connect Commands from a File.

AgIPCExp does not handle asynchronous commands.
