Ecf Script

In the previous example, we have copied the file t1.ecf to the file t2.ecf.

%include <head.h>
echo "I will now sleep for %SLEEP% seconds"
sleep %SLEEP%
%include <tail.h>

Text

Then add the variable to the suite definition:

# Definition of the suite test.
suite test
   edit ECF_INCLUDE "$HOME/course"   # replace '$HOME' with the path to your home directory
   edit ECF_HOME    "$HOME/course"
   family f1
      task t1
         edit SLEEP 20
      task t2
         edit SLEEP 20
   endfamily
endsuite

What to do

1. Do the modifications
2. Replace the suite
   python: python3 test.py
                python3 client.py
   text:      ecflow_client --suspend=/test ;  ecflow_client --replace=/test test.def
3. Watch in ecflowview ecflow_ui . You should see the tasks with a status active for 20 seconds

1. second. Look at the job output.
