softinit - Invocation Specifications for the SoftBench Software
Development Environment Softinit files contain information
governing the default execution of tools in SoftBench. They are
read in response to the message. This message is sent at startup
and when the command is executed. Selecting from the SoftBench
Tool Manager "Start" dialog will also cause them to be read.
The system softinit file, is generated from entries provided by
each product which uses the SoftBench Broadcast Message Server,
as well as entries which the system administrator or system in-
tegrator has specified. The system softinit file should not be
modified directly. Instructions for customization are given
below.
If a line in this file begins with a '#' character, it is assumed
to be a comment, and is ignored. Otherwise, the line contains
the following fields, separated by or characters: Specifies the
tool class of the entry. Specifies the type ( or ) of the entry.
Specifies the scope ( or ) for this entry. The file types which
this entry can handle. This can be an asterisk, or a list of
valid filetypes separated by a vertical bar. A filetype is valid
if it is listed in the file. The execution host for the tool.
This field can be: (execute on the host where the execution
manager is running), (execute on the host specified in the con-
text), or a machine name (execute on that machine). The invoca-
tion string for the tool. For a more detailed explanation of the
values of these fields, see the manual. If two or more entries
have the same tool class name, then the last entry has precedence
over previous entries.
If two entries have the same tool class, but one has a general
filetype ("*") and the other has a specific file type (e.g. the
specific entry will have precedence for the types of files speci-
fied. The entries with general types must precede the entries
with specific types. The system softinit file is generated from
entries provided by each product which uses the Broadcast Message
Server, as well as entries which the system administrator or sys-
tem integrator has specified.
In order to include customizations in you must: Become user
"root". Save a copy of the file, if desired. Add the desired
entries to the file: Run the merge program by typing: Check the
file to confirm that the new entries were included (they will be
at the end). Check the customizations by re-reading the file
(re-start softbench or execute and starting the program that uses
the new entries.
