Qualifiers

/BEGINNING
      /BEGINNING=time

   Specifies the time that the SHOW CLUSTER session is to begin. You
   can specify absolute time, a delta time, or a combination of the
   two. Observe the syntax rules for time values described in the
   OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.

   If you specify a future time, your process is placed in a state
   of hibernation until the specified time. Use this qualifier with
   the /OUTPUT and /ENDING qualifiers to run SHOW CLUSTER without
   direct user intervention.

   You can specify time as absolute time expressed as
   [dd-mmm-yyyy[:]] [hh:mm:ss.cc], or a delta time expressed as
   [dddd-][hh:mm:ss.cc], or a combination of the two. Observe the
   syntax rules for time values described in the OpenVMS User's
   Manual or the online help topic Date.


/CONTINUOUS
   Specifies a continuously updating display. If you omit the
   qualifier, SHOW CLUSTER produces a single display and returns
   control to the DCL command level.

   Running SHOW CLUSTER in the continuous mode allows you to use
   SHOW CLUSTER commands to control the display. In a continuous
   display, you can control report output with SHOW CLUSTER
   commands. For information about the SHOW CLUSTER commands, invoke
   a continuous SHOW CLUSTER display and type HELP at the Command>
   prompt.

   SHOW CLUSTER has commands that allow you to customize the
   display. You can add and remove fields and classes, rearrange
   the position of windows, scroll their contents, or create
   an initialization or command procedure that can recreate a
   particular window setup.

   To exit from a continuous display and return to the DCL level,
   type the EXIT command or press Ctrl/Z.

   To exit from SHOW CLUSTER without erasing the screen, press
   Ctrl/C.

   To interrupt SHOW CLUSTER, press Ctrl/Y.

   For a complete description of the Show Cluster utility and
   commands, see the VSI OpenVMS System Manager's Manual for overview
   information and the VSI OpenVMS System Management Utilities
   Reference Manual for reference information.


/ENDING
      /ENDING=time

   Specifies the time that the SHOW CLUSTER session is to end. You
   can specify an absolute time, a delta time, or a combination of
   the two. Observe the syntax rules for time values described in
   the OpenVMS User's Manual or the online help topic Date.

   Use this qualifier with the /BEGINNING and /OUTPUT qualifiers to
   run SHOW CLUSTER without direct user intervention.

   You can specify time as absolute time expressed as [dd-mmm-
   yyyy[:]][hh:mm:ss.cc], or a delta time expressed as [dddd-
   ][hh:mm:s.cc], or a combination of the two. Observe the syntax
   rules for time values described in the OpenVMS User's Manual or
   the online help topic Date.


/INTERVAL
      /INTERVAL=seconds

   Specifies the number of seconds that display information remains
   on the screen before it is updated. By default, the interval time
   is 15 seconds.

   If you use an initialization file in noncontinuous mode and the
   initialization file contains a SET SCREEN command that changes
   the screen size, SHOW CLUSTER sets the screen to the specified
   size for one update interval and then sets the screen to the
   original size.


/OUTPUT
      /OUTPUT=filespec

   Directs the output from SHOW CLUSTER to the specified file
   instead of the current SYS$OUTPUT device.

   SHOW CLUSTER output is always in printable file format,
   regardless of the file or device type specified. Output can be
   up to 132 columns wide and can be sent to any file, terminal, or
   print device.

   You can also direct output to a file with the WRITE command.

   The filespec is the name of the file or device to which SHOW
   CLUSTER output is directed. The default file name is SHOW_
   CLUSTER.LIS.

   You can direct output to a device other than SYS$OUTPUT, by
   specifying a valid device name.
