Short: Processing stacksize in cli-scripts Author: Thomas.Radtke@rz.uni-osnabrueck.de Uploader: Thomas Radtke rz uni-osnabrueck de Type: util/batch Architecture: m68k-amigaos This command lets you process the stacksize in cli-scripts. If the numeric argument given to it is lower than the actual stacksize, it will exit with value 5. Usage: syntax: stacksize n returncode: 5 if stacksize is lower than n, or if n is missing 0 if stacksize is higher or equal to n Example: You want to start a command in a batch file wich will use 20KB of stack. Normally you are using 4KB of stack, but maybe the user has raised the size to 300KB to start e.g. maple from the shell, you don't know. Setting the stack at this point to 20KB will be deadly for the one really starting maple after executing your batch file. To avoid such problems, you could now use the following script: ; This example raises the stacksize only if it ranges below a critical ; value stacksize 20480 ; request the return code if warn ; stack was lower than 20KB ? stack 20480 ; yes, raise the stack endif Installation: Just move or copy bin/stacksize anywhere in your path, e.g. cp bin/stacksize c: The source can be found in the src directory. Legal: stacksize is freeware, you can redistribute the archive as long as the files 'stacksize' and 'stacksize.readme' are intact. Thomas
