Use the multimode command to set your Command-line
interface environment settings so you can run multiple commands without having
to re-enter the environment level information. In multimode,
you can set your environment and run commands until you exit multimode by typing exit or quit. Additionally,
you can provide commands by passing a previously prepared list of commands
from a file or standard input (pipe). You can invoke multimode
from within a multimode session; once you exit the second multimode environment, you return to your original multimode environment. The interactive (default) option
prompts you for the required arguments. Use the interactive
option when you run one command at a time from the command prompt or when
you run in multimode from a file. Commands in multimode, when piped from an input stream, and commands invoked
from another program, cannot run in the interactive mode.
