Command: start

Syntax

start <app>

Description

Initialize an application.

Parameters

• <app>
  The application name. This name must correspond to an entry in the user’s applications list file. The name may or may not be preceded by the @ character.

Switches

Notes

Details of which applications are available are given in the applications list file mxapps.def, which should reside in the $HOME or $MXSITE directories. Refer to the applications command for more information regarding use of this file.

Initializing an application is equivalent to executing the mount command on the application library, followed by

exec @<app>/start.cmd.

If <app> has already been initialized as an application, this command will have no effect.
