Purpose:<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\n

Transfer variables from the local CyFlex node to one or more remote CyFlex nodes based on a specification file.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Enter:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

push_link<\/strong>\u00a0 <filename> [name=task_name] [host=hostname] &<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Where:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n
\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n\n\n
\n

filename<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Specify the pathname of the specification file containing the list of nodes and variables to transfer.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

name<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify the name to register this task with the system. The default is “push_link”.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

host<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Optional. Specify the IP address or hostname of the remote computer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Example:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

push_link<\/strong> \/specs\/em_specs.316 &<\/p>\n

The above starts push_link on the local node accessing the CyFlex variable specified in the file em_specs.316.<\/p>\n<\/dd>\n<\/dl>\n

Notes:<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

A combined total of 1200 variables may be specified in each file to be transferred to remote nodes.<\/p>\n

push_link does not support STRING variables and will not perform units conversion.<\/p>\n

This program is normally spawned via the go script. Multiple copies may be spawned if links to different nodes using separate spec files is desired.<\/p>\n

The following is an example spec file linking to a node via its IP address or hostname.<\/p>\n

When the host=hostname option is used on the command line, the ip_address field in the spec file should be replaced with CMD_LINE<\/p>\n
