Each of the MIDAS utilities define a number of input parameters. The following parameters are common to many :
Midas experiment (exptname)
The MIDAS utility input parameter exptname
- [-e <exptname> ]
- specifies the MIDAS experiment to connect to (where multiple experiments are defined on the MIDAS host (see exptab). This option supersedes the default experiment name given by the environment variable MIDAS_EXPT_NAME , if defined. If multiple experiments are defined, unless MIDAS_EXPT_NAME is defined or this argument is supplied, the application will request the experiment name.
Midas host (hostname)
The MIDAS utility input parameter hostname
- [-h <hostname> ]
- specifies the MIDAS host to connect to when connecting to an experiment running on a remote host. "hostname" must be a valid IP host name. This option supersedes the default hostname given by the environment variable MIDAS_SERVER_HOST , if defined. Note that the mserver utility must be running on the remote host in this case. If the experiment is running on the local host, this argument need not be supplied.
Note:
If the environment variable MIDAS_DIR is defined (i.e. single default experiment), the expname and hostname input parameters and environment variables MIDAS_EXPT_NAME and MIDAS_SERVER_HOST will be superseded.
