NAME

appexec - execute a command under a specified environment

VERSION

version 0.34

SYNOPSIS

appexec --env environment [options] program [program arguments]

appexec [options] environment program [program arguments]

DESCRIPTION

appexec will execute a program with the specified arguments in the specified environment. The environment is generated by App::Env, so an appropriate App::Env application module must exist.

OPTIONS AND ARGUMENTS

appexec uses long options. Options may be abbreviated, and the "=" character shown below in the option templates may be replaced by whitespace.

The environment to use may be specified either via the --env option, or as the first non-option argument.

The following options are available:

--clear | -c

Clear out the environment prior to loading the specified ones. This is equivalent to deleting all environment variables except for

HOME
SHELL
LOGNAME
--env=name

A comma separated list of environments (or applications in App::Env terminology) in which to run the program. The Perl modules defining the environments (e.g. App::Env::<environment name> ) must exist.

If this option is not specified, the first non-option argument should contain the environment name(s).

--appopts key=value | -o key=value

Specify a option key and value to be passed via AppOpts to the App::Env application module. This option may be specified multiple times.

If multiple environments will be loaded, then each key must be prefixed with an environment name followed by a colon, e.g.:

appexec --env env1,env2 -o env1:opt1=val1 -o env2:opt2=val2
--site=site

Specify a site. (See App::Env for more information.)

--dumpenv=fmt | -d fmt

Output the environmental variables to the standard output stream with the specified format.

The possible formats are:

bash
csh
ksh
raw
tcsh
unquoted
--verbose

Print the command to be run to the standard output stream before running it.

--help

Print a short help summary and exit.

--usage

Print full documentation and exit.

EXAMPLES

Real-life examples:

  1. Run the fhelp tool from the HEADAS FTOOLS application suite:

    appexec HEADAS fhelp fparkey

  2. Run the dmlist tool from the CIAO version 3.4 application suite:

    appexec -o version=3.4 CIAO dmlist
