JOB

1984 Version of ANSI Standard

3.6.9.5 JOB

J[OB] postcond Space L jobargument

For each jobargument, the JOB command attempts to initiate another MUMPS process. The JOB command initiates this MUMPS process at the left end of the line specified by the entryref. The processparameters can be used in an implementation-specific fashion to indicate partition size, principal device, and the like.

If a timeout is present, the condition reported by $T is the success of initiating the process. If no timeout is present, the value of $T is not changed, and process execution is suspended until the MUMPS process named in the jobargument is successfully initiated. The meaning of success in either context is defined by the implementation.
