General use of scripts

  
general use of scripts
----------------------
 
The general format of the runline for a script is like:

   script_name [-specifier [argument]] ..... [-specifier [argument]]
   


Arguments always have to include a specification of the FOT.
For this the switch '-f FOTID' is used where the FOTID is the identifying string.
Only in case the files are retrieved from the tape in the same call to
w_proc will by default the identifying string extracted from the first 
line of the Tape Directory.

Arguments not recognized by w_proc will be passed on to subsequentky
invoked scripts.

Some general used switches used by all scripts are:
 
-h	Display a concise help on the available switches of the script. 
	It will not show the switches of possible subsequently invoked 
	scripts.

-vv #	Regulates the output verbosity volume.  If 0 a minimal output will 
	occur.  If 1 it shows the programs that were active and some info on 
	files produced.  Larger value will pruduce more debugging info.
	
-t @	Defines the directory where the input disk files are located
	In case of files first copied from ......
	
-d @	defines the destination directory where all subsequent result
	files will be stored.

Examples:

Copy a FOT onto disk in directory 'FOTDIR' from default tape-unit

  >  setenv FOT_TOP /disk2/fotdir
  >  w_proc -fot


Process a FOT from tape completely with standard options and
save the output in a logfile 

::: w_proc -fot -all -t FOTDIR > logfile


To re-process a selected range (obs 3 thru 5) of observations and store 
results in different destination directory

::: w_proc -f FOT_ID -clean -t FOTDIR -d DESTDIR -n1 3 -n2 5


To process all relevant files for SPV test.
So all observations with modes DIR001, DIR004 and DIR005

::: w_spv -f FOT_ID -t FOTDIR
