Each script must be a complete ESSCMD session, with login, application and database selection, logout, and termination commands.
To create a script:
Enter ESSCMD commands in a text editor.
Save the file with the .SCR extension.
For example, the following script file, TEST.SCR, was created in Notepad:
LOGIN "LOCAL" "TOMT" "PASSWORD"; SELECT "SAMPLE" "BASIC"; GETDBSTATE EXIT;
When run from the operating system command line, this script logs TomT into the Local server, selects the Sample application and Basic database, gets database statistics, and quits ESSCMD.
