cxtest
Command line interface
Command line interface
cxtest is a utility that allows the user to run tests loaded into the Test
Controller. Tests can be specified on the command line or a Graphic User
Interface can be started to simplify test selection. cxtest allows use of
the Test Controller without being at the system console.
NOTE The -d option must be used on the command line to start the GUI
interface to cxtest.
By default, cxtest tries to load the test information needed from a file.
The name of the file is cxtest.load located in the same directory as the
test. A different file can be specified by using the -f option on the
command line.

When using the command line interface to cxtest, the command line
