Batch File Syntax

The N1 Grid Service Provisioning System software applies these rules when parsing batch files.

• In fields that are known to be path names, slashes (whether forward or backward) are always translated to accommodate the convention used on the native file system.

• Blank lines are allowed as visual separators of clusters of files.

• Leading or trailing whitespace is not stripped from fields.

• Both absolute and relative paths are allowed in a batchfile. By default, relative paths are interpreted as being relative to the batchfile location; this can be overridden with the -pwdrelative flag, in which case relative paths will be interpreted as being relative to the current working directory.
