    Note that "irun" is a legacy command that is currently aliased to "xrun", however you should aim to use "xrun" for forwards compatibility with newer software releases.

    Your commands could be made simpler, unless you specifically need to name the output file or add extra options like glitch recording.

    Your Tcl command can be as simple as:

    probe -create -shm -all [scope -tops] -depth all

    However it would be best if you look at the tool documentation at support.cadence.com to review the exact syntax and be sure that you're using the optimal settings for what you need to debug. I can't preemptively describe all the options here, and you haven't said waht you're trying to do or what problems you had, so it's impossible to give much more hlp in this forum.
