Varkon application developers manual
If you want Varkon to start with a specific module, execute
it automatically and then exit without having made any output
to the display you can supply the -b parameter to Varkon in the
start script when Varkon is started. This is called "batch mode".
If you want to run Varkon in batch mode it is important to use a start script where you also supply the job directory and the job name on the line that starts Varkon. Here is an example:
$VARKON_BIN/xvarkon module_name -jd/home/my_application/job -b
Error messages issued by Varkon while in batch mode are written
to the file Varkon.LOG in the job directory.
