Reporter
Setting Up Report Output
5967–9446 137
To process output with a command
1 Click or choose Report➤Schedule/Output Setup…
2 Select Output to Command.
3 Set the output format: PostScript, XWD, or Text.
4 Specify the command for processing the report output.
If the Printer, Screen, File, and Mail output options don’t suit your needs,
you can specify a command to process report output. An example is
shown in figure 28 on page 138.
When you choose Command output, Reporter does not automatically
delete the temporary file it creates for the report (because the Reporter
doesn’t know when the command you specify finishes executing). As a
result, you should explicitly clean up the temporary file.
To do so, include “; rm $OUTPUTFILE” at the end of the command you
specify, or periodically remove files of the form rep.* in the temporary
directory.
See Also “Temporary Files” on page 44.
