gen_solver

Purpose:

Find the roots for a general function f(X).

Enter:

gen_solver <priority> <spec_file_name> [+c] &

Where:

priority

Specify the priority at which to run this task (8-9). If running at anything other than SLO the priority should be set lower than the shell priority because the task MAY consume excessive CPU time.

spec_file_name

Specify name of the specification file for this instance. If the filename does not begin with a ‘/’, then ‘/specs/’ will be prepended to the file name.

+c

Optionally specify this argument to indicate that the task is critical and should cause the watchdog to trip if is not responding.

&

Specify this character to run the task in the background.

Example:

gen_solver 8 /specs/solver.1 &
gen_solver 9 solver.1 +c &
Both of these instances use the file /specs/solver.1 for specifications. The second instance is marked as critical and will cause the watchdog to trip if the program does not respond. This implies that the specifications contain a valid interval.
