10. Scripts
PowerTerm LTC enables you to create scripts for automating tasks. For example,
you can create a script to login to a PowerTerm LTC session, execute a file, display
a message, etc. Scripts can be run upon startup or during a PowerTerm LTC
session. They can be written in any standard text editor and are saved with a .psl
extension. This chapter describes how to create, edit, run, save and activate script
in PowerTerm LTC.
The PowerTerm LTC Script Language (PSL) is PowerTerm LTC's own programming
language. For a full description of the different PSL commands, see the "PowerTerm
Script Language Reference".
PowerTerm LTC provides the following script options:
•
Record a Script, creates a script by recording all the actions that you
perform in the PowerTerm LTC window.
•
Run Scripts, runs specific scripts or individual commands, upon startup,
connection to a host, or during a PowerTerm LTC session, to automate
specific tasks. You can only run saved scripts.
•
Activate a Recorded Script, executes a non-saved script from the current
memory.
•
Save a Recorded Script, saves your script to be used at a later date.
•
Assign Scripts, to the Soft buttons.
