AmigaDOS command problems
« on: September 13, 2014, 08:30:50 PM »
I'm trying to use the break command and not getting the expected results.

According to several sources, this should work on 3.1.

In one shell window, type:
wait 5 Min

In another:
break 'STATUS Com=Wait'

But I just get an error: bad number

Where am I wrong?

If I break by task number, I can break it with no problems.

Thanks,
John

Damn I hate it when I figure things out RIGHT after posting...

I was being too literal, I needed to read the docs for status itself.

Also the ticks were wrong in some docs. I needed back tick ` and not apostrophy '

it should have been:
break `status command wait`
