ACU for DOS

Running the ACU Using Scripts

To use the ACU scripting features, use the

ACU

command, specify a

script file (see

Creating the Script File Manually on page B-5

), and

specify one (but not both) of the required switches listed in the table
below. You may also add one or both of the optional switches listed
in the table.

Note:

Command line syntax is not case sensitive.

Switch

Type

Description

/P <file>

Required Playback Mode—In this mode, the ACU reads

the contents of the specified script file and creates
arrays and configures channel settings based on
the keywords defined in the script. For more
details, see

Playback Mode on page B-4

.

Note:

The ACU exits with an error if you do not

include either the

/P

or the

/R

switch (but not both).

/R <file>

Required Record Mode—The ACU writes a controller’s

existing array configuration to a specified script
file, enabling you to create the same configuration
by running the ACU in playback mode (

/p

switch) with the resulting script. For more details,
see

Record Mode on page B-4

.

Note:

The ACU exits with an error if you do not

include either the

/P

or the

/R

switch (but not both).

/L <file>

Optional

Optional Log Filename Switch

—If you include

this switch, the ACU records its activity and any
errors it encounters in the log file. If you do not
include this switch, the ACU displays any status
and errors on the screen.
The

file

is a standard MS-DOS file, which can

include a drive, directory, filename, and extension.
Only the filename and extension (

.LOG

) are

required. If no drive or directory is specified, the
file is placed in the location of the ACU executable.

/C <number>

Optional

Optional Controller Number Switch

—In

systems with more than one controller, this switch
specifies which controller to change, where

<number>

is the controller number. The default

controller number is 0.
Note:

The number assigned to a particular controller

depends on the controller’s physical PCI slot and the
order in which your system scans its PCI slots.
