Command line

oRis can either be launched with or without its Graphical User Interface. The oRis GUI allows you to load simulations, control the running simulation, display specific graphical windows ...

Nevertheless, when launched without its GUI (i.e. in text mode), oRis allows to display graphic windows, but these later should be explicitely created by the execution of the running simulation.

• Command line for oRis with its GUI:
  • $ oris
    • Launches oRis with its Graphical User Interface.
    • No simulation is started, one should be loaded with the GUI.
  • $ oris -gui
    • Same as ``$ oris'' without the -gui option (set by default).
  • $ oris fileName ...
    • Launches oRis with its Graphical User Interface.
    • Loads the simulation fileName.
    • The arguments given after fileName are left to be used by the fileName simulation.
  • $ oris -gui fileName ...
    • Same as ``$ oris fileName ...'' without the -gui option (set by default).
• Command line for oRis in text mode:
  • $ oris -text fileName ...
    • Launches oRis in text mode.
    • No GUI is displayed and the fileName simulation is loaded and started.
    • The fileName is required and the remaining arguments are left to be used by this simulation.
    • oRis can be stopped explicitely during the execution of the simulation or by hitting Ctrl-C in the text console.

Warning !

If oRis does not respond, due to an infinite loop in your application or due to a bug in oRis, try first to hit Ctrl-C in the terminal from which oRis was launched.

If nothing happens, then you will have to kill the oRis process explicitely. For this, avoid using the xkill UNIX command or the SIGKILL (nb 9) signal but prefer using:
        kill oRis_PID
or whatever that should normally make the process dye (nb 11 for example).

If the only way to kill the oRis process is to use:
        kill -9 oRis_PID
or
        xkill
then you will have to remove the IPCs left using the ipcs and ipcrm UNIX commands.
