Hi Rene, Masa and Others, I think my question is mis-INTERPRETED: as an example: as everybody knows, in a shell we can give a background job: suppose say minimization problem, which takes days to come to a stop.. (especially if its a simulated annealing method). >>@user>>mimimize < someinput.file >somelog.file & //'&' is for backgrounding >>@user>>bla!bla //I can start doing some other work here without // waiting for the minimization results... Now, my wish in CINT/ROOT:-- Root[0] .x myTest.C // this will execute the program/script and only // then the prompt will be offered for the next command... Root[1] Instead of that : Root[0] .x myTest.C & // some backgrounding ability...... Root[1] .x myTest2.C // etc...I concentrate on someother work, while // present work is in background..... did I make myself clear....????? I personally feel, this wish is more realizable in UNIX/LINUX systems than in WINDOWS systems...even then its worth adding such a facility...isnt it ???? why I got this thought :I work in MacroMolecular Crystallography, where refinement, energy minimization will go into ~500 cycles...etc... so, I dont want to wait till 500 cycles are over. In the mean time, I want to do some other analysis etc....but still being in the same environment...i.e the CINT/ROOT environment... and hence this wish ...... Root/Cint is ALMOST SHELL ( i feel better with this than other conventional shells, I feel more handicapped with others..)....so I felt, lets make a FULL SHELL. Can Root/Cint handle such a heavy work..I hope its OOF&D is for such type of heavy tasks. Hopefully, this wish is not stupid . :-) :-) I will be glad, if my ignorance is pointed out in this wish.. thankyou for your time... sincerly prasad. > Hi, > If you have a script, say myTest.C > To execute this script with the interpreter in a Root session, you do: > root > .x myTest.C > Within the Root environment, you can also use the ACLIC (Automatic Compiler > Linker interface to CINT) to compile your script with the native compiler, > generate an intermediate shared lib, load it and execute with > root > .x myTest.C++ > In order to use ACLIC, your script must be a valid C++ piece of code with > all the include statements.
