Set UNIX environment variable through in Cadence environment through skill

Cadence version using=IC616.

Hi ,

I have two questions which i have listed below

a)Not able to set PVDIR variable in unix through skill command.

system("setenv PVDIR /home/data/")

error message in unix terminal: sh: setenv: command not found

b)I want to streamout the gds and then execute skill code sequentially, if the error not exist in streamout or else terminate with error message.

   1)How to wait till streamout is done & How to check for error message. There is a user defined function "xstOutOnCompletion()", How to use 

         along with procedure.

envSetVal("xstream" "xstShowCompletionMsgBox" 'boolean nil)

xstSetField("library" libname)
xstSetField("topCell" cellname)
xstSetField("strmFile" strcat(cellname ".gds"))
xstSetField("attachTechFileOfLib" "tsmc90_tech")
xstSetField("view" "layout")
xstSetField("runDir" path)
xstSetField("summaryFile" "strmOut.sum")
xstSetField("virtualMemory" "true")
xstSetField("logFile" "strmOut.log")
xstOutDoTranslate()

 

Thanks,

rajs

    Thanks a lot Andrew.

    1)Yes i will try to use  system("xterm -e /some/command &") or  ipcBeginProcess or ipcBatchProcess .

    2)Removing virtual memory line has resolved the issue.

    Thanks,
