Program APXs

Program APXs, also called Script APXs, are similar to shell commands and are implemented as OGFS server scripts. You can invoke them from the OGFS command line and pass input arguments to them using STDIN or command-line arguments. Their output goes to STDOUT and STDERR.

Program APXs are executed inside a Global Shell (OGSH) session and have access to all OGSH features permissible to the user who invokes the APX. This includes rosh, CLI, OGFS, and more. You can write Program APXs using any script-based tool, such as shell script, Python, Perl, and so on.

You can invoke Program APXs from the OGSH command prompt. Typically, Program APXs are executed synchronously, meaning the shell prompt does not return until the Program APX returns. APXs cannot be scheduled as recurring jobs in either the twister or in OGFS.

Program APXs are located in the OGFS directory /opsw/apx/bin.

During an interactive OGSH session, a user only sees those Program APXs in /opsw/apx/bin that they have permission to execute. Attempting to invoke a Program APX for which a user has no execution permission results in a File Not Found error from the shell.

A Program APX can also be invoked by other Web APXs or Program APXs. For example, a CGI program or PHP script from a Web APX can invoke a Program APX.
