setopt

Name

setopt — view or set the value of an option

Synopsis

Supported for RTserver, RTclient, RTmon, RTgms, and RTacl:

setopt 
setopt option 
setopt option value 

Description

The setopt command is used to view or set the value of an option. If called with option and value, setopt sets option to the new value. If called with option only, setopt displays the option name and its current value. If called without arguments, setopt displays all RT process options and their current values.

Caution

If an option’s value is a list of items, the items must be separated with commas (value1, value2, ...).

To prevent irreversible damage to your SmartSockets system, this command should not be specified with the Enable_Control_Msgs option without careful supervision.
