Reproducing a Single Run

 

To reproduce a single run, simply open the case log file, copy the command that corresponds to the run that you want to reproduce, and paste it into a new file. Make a copy of the input file, if there was one, and move both files to the new output directory. Edit the paths as necessary, and type

% /bin/sh caseLogCopy

where caseLogCopy is the name of the copy of the case log file. You could also simply paste the edited command at the Bourne shell (sh) prompt:

$ command

Or you can type:

% /bin/sh -c "command"

where command is the command that you copied from the case log file. The quotes are necessary.

Ideally, the target program should also include in the output files any information needed to replicate a run. The program could then read in an output file and redo the run that produced that file.
