Using tcl script to execute virtuoso

kbhow

Hi,

I facing some issue in making virtuoso run under tcl script. The script is very simple as below:

#!/usr/bin/tcl

exec "virtuoso -nograph -restore run.restore"

exit

Although it is simple but it failed with message :"virtuoso -nograph -restore run.restore" file/directory not found.

My Question:

1. Can we execute virtuoso nograph using tcl script. It will be no problem if i just run virtuoso only.

2. If yes, how we do that.

Your advice is much appreciated. Thanks

How

  • Hi How,

    This is just a simple Tcl mistake. Because you put quotes around the command, it is treating the command as a single argument, and it is looking for a file called "virtuoso -nograph -restore run.restore" - which is not what  you want.

    Just miss out the quotation marks.

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Thanks.

    But i tried any of the example below also not working. Please advice. Thanks

    exec virtuoso -nograph -restore run.restore

    OR

    exec virtuoso -nograph -restore "run.store"

    How

  • Hi How,

    "Not working" isn't terribly descriptive. It depends on what you're expecting the script to do. If the "run.restore" script has got an exit() at the end, it should "work" - and the return value of the Tcl exec statement should be the text output from the virtuoso command. 

    Or you can put "&" at the end of the statement, and it will run in background.

    All depends on what you're trying to do. You might want to clarify...

    Regards,

    Andrew.

  • Hi Andrew,

    Cool. Now my script is working fine now. Thanks a lot.
