imta run

The imta run command processes the messages in the channel specified by the channel parameter. Output during processing is displayed at your terminal, which makes your terminal unavailable for the duration of the operation of the utility. Refer also to the imta submit command that, unlike imta run, does not monopolize your terminal.

Syntax

imta run channel [poll]

The parameters for this command are:

channel	Specifies the channel to be processed. This parameter is not optional.
poll	If poll is specified, the channel program only attempts to run if actual messages for that channel are waiting to be processed.

Example

Type the following command to process any messages in the tcp_local channel:

% imta run tcp_local poll
