cp [options] <command_line>
"create process"
DESCRIPTION:
The "cp" command is used to create a new process with its own
ceterm window. ceterm typed in the command window is an alias for
cp. If the command line contains white space (has arguments) the
entire command line must be enclosed in single or double quotes.
Most of the options and arguments that are accepted by ce are
also accepted by cp. See the help file on xresources for the full
list of command arguments and X resources. The -display, -name,
-help, and -load options are not supported via cp.
"cp" without any arguments creates a new window and within it
runs your default shell.
You can also use "cp" to invoke a command other than a shell by
specifying the command, along with additional options and
arguments if desired. For example, to start a process that lists
the contents of the current directory and then terminates, you
would type
cp /bin/ls
If the command specification contains embedded white space,
enclose the entire command line (except the "cp") in quotes:
cp "/bin/ls -al"
"cp" does not run the specified command inside a shell. If you
want the command to run within a shell, for example, to redirect
standard output (which is a shell feature), you must include the
shell as part of the command:
cp "/bin/ksh -c '/bin/ls -al > /tmp/ls.stdout'"
Note the use of (i) the '-c' option to the shell, which instructs
it to execute the command that follows and (ii) the single quotes
to enclose the command that follows the '-c' option.
"cp" and "ceterm", when invoked from the "Command:" prompt, are
synonymous.
