Including Operating-System Commands

You can issue operating-system commands directly from a MaxL session. The operating-system output becomes part of the MaxL Shell output. When the operating system finishes executing commands, it returns control to essmsh.

  To escape to the operating system from within a MaxL session, use shell.

For example, to run the UNIX date command from a MaxL script:

shell date;

  To escape to ESSCMD from within a MaxL session use single quotes:

For example:

shell esscmd ‘../scripts/test.scr’;
