For more details on the commands available in RTmon, see Chapter 9.

Starting a Command Interface Session

Type this command at the prompt to invoke the RTmon CI:

$ rtmon -runtime 

A banner displays that shows the version and release of SmartSockets that you are running, and gives the contact information for TIBCO Product Support. After the banner, the RTmon prompt appears.

MON> 

You can set the text that shows up as the prompt using the Prompt option. MON is the default prompt.

You can enter any RTmon commands at the prompt. The most frequently used commands are watch, poll, send, and run. After entering a watch, poll, or send command, you should follow it with a run command to ensure the command is executed:

MON> poll server_names 
Polled for server_names. 
MON> run 
POLL> Current Servers: 
/_workstation1.talarian.com_6848 [RTserver: 
rtworks@workstation1.talarian.com] 
/_workstation2_72522 [RTserver: RTWORKS@workstation2] 
/_workstation3_11203 [RTserver: tom@workstation3] 

The POLL> indicates RTmon is displaying the results of the poll. Type quit at the RTmon prompt to exit from the RTmon CI.
