The conman showjobs function has been enhanced to retrieve the return code information for a given job. The default showjobs output has been adjusted to include an additional column for the return code.
|
|
Also, a new argument retcod, when used in conjunction with the keys argument, will give the return code for a specified job

The retcod feature may not at first appear overly useful, but when integrated into a script, it can become quite powerful.
The following characters have special meanings in Conman commands:
| Char. | Description |
|---|---|
| & | Command delimiter. See Running conman. |
| + | A delimiter used to select objects for commands.
It adds an attribute the object must have. For example:
sked1.@+priority=0 |
| ~ | A delimiter used to select objects for commands.
It adds an attribute the object must not have. For example:
sked1.@~priority=0 |
| ; | Argument delimiter. For example:
;info;offline |
| , | Repetition and range delimiter. For example:
state=hold,sked,pend |
| = | Value delimiter. For example:
state=hold |
| : ! | Command prefixes that pass the command on to the
system. These prefixes are optional; if Conman does not recognize
the command, it is passed automatically to the system. For example:
!ls or :ls |
| <<>> | Comment brackets. For example:
sj @#@.@ <<comment>> |
| * | Comment prefix. The prefix must be the first
character on a command line or following a command delimiter. For
example:
*comment
or sj& *comment |
| > | Redirects command output to a file and
overwrites the contents of the file. If the file does not exist, it
is created. For example:
sj> joblist |
| >> | Redirects command output to a file and appends
the output to the end of file. If the file does not exist, it is
created. For example:
sj >> joblist |
| | | Pipes command output to a system command or
process. The system command is run whether or not output is
generated. For example:
sj| grep ABEND |
| || | Pipes command output to a system command or
process. The system command is not run if there is no output. For
example:
sj || grep ABEND |
The following table lists the Conman command set. Command names and keywords can be entered in either uppercase or lowercase characters, and can be abbreviated to as few leading characters as are needed to distinguish them from each other. Some of the command names also have short forms.
