AT&T UNIX™PC Unix System V Users Manual - tenox

UA ( 4) (AT&T UNIX PC only ) UA ( 4)
UA invokes another instance of the user agent, which takes as its
menu the specified menu objects file.
FM invokes another instance of the files manager, which displays
the specified directory in a new window (folder display).
FO performs a file operation on the specified files. The operation
is specified via option characters as follows:
-c Copy
-d Delete (move to Wastebasket)
-m Move
-r Rename
-i Destination is the invisible Clipboard
EXEC executes the specified file in a fork, and any subsequent
arguments are interpreted and passed to the process as arguments.
SH executes the Bourne shell (/bin/sh) in a fork, and all arguments
are interpreted and passed to the shell as arguments.
ERR OR says that the command is illegal for the selected object.
In the case of Create, ERROR prevents the object from being
listed in the create menu.
EXEC and SH have a number of variations, which are used
depending on the intelligence of the process being invoked. The
basic EXEC and SH assume no intelligence. They create a window
of the default size, and fix file descriptors 0, 1, and 2 to point
to the window, then exec the process or the shell, and wait for its
completion.
The variations are specified via option characters as follows:
-n Run the process without a window
-w Run the process without waiting
-d Run the process in a dimensionless window
-p Run the process with superuser privileges
The following interpretation is performed on all arguments to the
commands:
%0 is replaced with the list of currently selected objects.
%o is replaced with the name of the currently selected
object. It is an error if a list of objects is specified by the
user, and the action specification contains a %o argument.
%N and %n are the same as %0 and %o, respectively,
except that the suffixes are stripped off the filename.
* is replaced with the list of files in the current directory,
or in the specified directory.
Environment variables (which must start with $ a Ia the
shell) are replaced with their current value.
