problem with starting the script in skill

imagesensor123 over 12 years ago

Hello,

I have writen a script file (myCheck.sh), I would like to start the myCheck.sh in skill procedure,

I tryed csh("myCheck.sh"), but it does not work. so what's the real process for starting the script file in skill.

my status: IC5141, spectre simulator

welcome to any suggestion!

regards,

zfeng

That's a perfectly reasonable way of running a script. Unfortunately "it does not work" doesn't tell anyone what does not work - please be more specific. Remember that any output the script produces will appear in the terminal window.

If you want the script to communicate with SKILL, you should look at the IPC functions such as ipcBeginProcess. Otherwise, the script is executed in a separate shell with no connection back to Virtuoso.

Hello Andrew,
my script ("myCheck.sh") is as following:
#! /usr/local/bin/tcsh
ic5141
ams370
spectre input2T5.scs
grep Vout -w capFile > capOut

the script is firstly to lunch the simulation and then process the file "capFile" to extract some info into file "capOut". in fact, when i use the command csh("myCheck.sh"), it just return "t" in CIW, no result is generated!
you mentioned the results(any output) will appear in the terminal, but I never see any terminal is trigered and turned up in this whole procedure!

zfeng

Hello thepaone, thx, yes, you're right! my idea is to start the simulation in backgroud to extract some low level parameter to be used later in high level modeling!

Does the script work if you run it from the terminal? Have you made it executable?

Hello, yes, I can start and run it in terminal perfectly, it works like what i expect! I just have some trouble in skill procedure (CIW), no it's just a common script file!

Hello,

question is cleared!

the right solution is: 1, make the script to be a exacutable *.sh firstly.
2, cd to current directory
3, csh("./*.sh")
