Specifying Input and Output Files

You can use the form

% prism < input-file

to specify a file from which Prism is to read and execute commands upon startup. Similarly, use the form

% prism > log-file

to specify a file to which Prism commands and their output are to be logged.

If you have created a .prisminit initialization file, Prism automatically executes the commands in the file when it starts up. See " Initializing Prism" for information on .prisminit.

To enter MP Prism, issue the prism command with the -n option, specifying the number of client MP Prism processes you want to start. Use the value 0 to specify that you want to run on all available nodes, one process per node.
