PEEK> SPAWN This command can be used from the PEEK> prompt to spawn a subprocess. The optional parameter is a command string to be executed by the spawned subprocess. The SPAWN command also takes the following qualifiers: /CARRIAGE_CONTROL - Controls subprocess prompt string format. /CLI - To specify a command line interpreter other than DCL. /INPUT - Where the subprocess gets its input commands. /KEYPAD - Whether DEFINE/KEY settings are inherited. /LOG - Display process name when re-attaching to process. /LOGICAL_NAMES - Whether logical names are inherited. /NOTIFY - If a message is received when subprocess finishes. /OUTPUT - Where subprocess sends its output. /PROCESS - Name of the subprocess to be created. /PROMPT - The prompt string to use for subprocess. /SYMBOLS - Whether symbol definitions are inherited. /WAIT - Does parent wait for subprocess (default=yes). For further details, use VMS's HELP on SPAWN, or see the description of LIB$SPAWN in the VAX/VMS Run-Time Library Routines Reference Manual.
