I cannot run a .il script automatically in linux terminal

Hi,

You can add a command to load your file in your .cdsinit
Otherwise you can use the -replay argument

The following example loads only your file without any .cdsinit (but you can remove the -nocdsinit if you need it)

virtuoso -64 -nograph -nocdsinit -log CDS.log -replay mycode.il

Cheers

I always use -restore for this. This is effectively using a side benefit of the capability to restore the session window positions (from Options->Save Session, which is not that well supported any more as not all applications are honoured), because the -restore is effectively just doing a load() after start. -replay is different because that's more like pasting each line into the CIW - so you get the return values of each statement in the file appearing in the CDS.log, and I don't like that - I'd sooner have load() semantics most of the time.

Hello Aurelien,

I've tried to use "virtuoso -64 -nograph -nocdsinit -log CDS.log -replay mycode.il" to replace my code "virtuoso -nograph -load mycode.il" in the .sh file. But it can still only open the virtuoso and do not run mycode.il automatically.

Lingtao,

This works for me. Maybe your "virtuoso" is a wrapper around the Cadence executable and so is not passing through all the arguments? For me, that creates a log file (CDS.log) in the working directory and anything I print within mycode.il certainly appears in that log.

What does "which virtuoso" return? Is it pointing at the actual Cadence installation?

Regards,

Hello Andrew,

I use IC617 for my project. The return of "which virtuoso" is "/etc/env/virtuoso". It seems that virtuoso and cadence are both in the root directory. But cadnece should be installed in "/opt/IC617". Thank you.

Hi Lingtao,

OK, that suggests that somebody at your site has created a wrapper script which launches virtuoso - that's not directly launching virtuoso. So you should speak to whoever has set up that wrapper because it seems likely that it's not passing through all the arguments to the real virtuoso.

Andrew

Hello Andrew

Thank you for your patience and help. So I should delete the wrapper script and use the real virtuoso, is that true?

Regards,

Lingtao

Lingtao,

I wouldn't go as far as saying you should delete anything. I have no idea what this wrapper script is there for - it might be something necessary in your environment to work. Only you can decide that!

Hello Andrew,

Ok I got it. Thank you so much for your help.
