Starting Single-user Progress In Batch Or Background Mode
Batch or background processing is convenient for large-scale database updates or procedures that you can run unattended (at night, for example).
To start single-user Progress in batch or background mode, enter the following command:
db-name
Specifies the database you want to start.
-p procedure-name
Specifies the procedure to run at startup.
parameters
Specifies the startup parameters you want to use.
output-file
Specifies the name of the file that receives all output to the default stream.
Redirecting Output
On UNIX you can redirect batch job input and output with the greater than (>) and less than (<) redirection symbols. You can also use the pipe symbol (|) to put a Progress batch run in a command pipeline. See the Batch (-b) startup parameter in the Progress Startup Command and Parameter Reference for more information.
In the following example, Progress starts in batch or background mode against the sports database and automatically runs the sportsbat startup procedure. In addition, the system directs output (not otherwise directed) with an OUTPUT TO statement to the file named
errlist
