Hi Brian, Sure, but some people recommend not using omget/omset :-) This is a snippet from a csh script: #!/bin/csh # YTNS is a variable that is loaded with the current value of the shift total tons # get yesterday's total tonnage from I/A (the following is ALL ONE LINE) /opt/fox/bin/tools/omgetimp PRODUCTION:FILTONS_DAY.RO01 set YFTNS=`/opt/fox/bin/tools/omgetimp PRODUCTION:FILTONS_DAY.RO01 | awk '{printf("%d", $3)}'` # Different line . . . # set a shared memory variable to new average (shared variable must already exist!!!) /opt/fox/bin/tools/omsetimp -v -f $NFAVG FILTONAVG # verify shared memory variable set to new average set NEWFTONAVG=`/opt/fox/bin/tools/omgetimp FILTONAVG | awk '{print $3}'` echo "New FILTONAVG =" $NEWFTONAVG Steve Murray Asarco -----Original Message----- From: Brian Bates [mailto:batesb@xxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, April 08, 2003 11:34 To: foxboro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [foxboro] omget Hi all. Is possible to use the output from OMGET within a shell script? I want to use OMGET to check a boolean output of a CALC block , and if it is true, then use OMSET to set a real input. -Thanks in advance. Brian Bates Bowater Inc.
