Re: go command (batch file?)

Hi all
To add to Steve's answer, there is also the Ferret startup option
-script  which allows you to pass a script and its arguments to
Ferret.  It can be combined with other startup options:

    ferret -gif -script 4 12 "label"

Hi all,

We are trying to make ferret more automated.  One way would be to write a
script in something else calling for one particular day a month to run a
ferret script.  The question I have is, how to execute the script?

I know we can write a script to call up ferret, but because you have to be
in ferret to say go *.jnl, a batch file would not work.
    

Hi Claire,

You can do this like:

	ferret -batch < your.jnl
or	ferret -gif < your.jnl


For instance I have a monthly process that creates a bottom temperature
plot where the Ferret part of it is:

echo "use monthave.$1.cdf" > gif.jnl
echo "FILL/K=1/levels=(-2,28,.3)/KEY=CONTINUOUS/NOLABELS/NOAXIS/NOKEY TEMP,'X','Y'" >> gif.jnl
echo "FRAME/FILE=$1.gif" >> gif.jnl
echo "quit" >> gif.jnl

ferret -gif < gif.jnl

Good luck,

Steve
