All command output and errors are displayed in a window. This ExecuteCommand mega widget is composed of an LabEntry widget for command entry, a "Do It" Button that initiates command execution, and a ROText widget that collects command execution output. While the command is executing, the "Do It" Button changes to a "Cancel" Button that can prematurely kill the executing command. The B method does the same thing programmatically. =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-command> The command to execute asynchronously. =item B<-entryWidth> Character width of command Entry widget. =item B<-height> Character height of the ROText widget. =item B<-label> Label text for command Entry widget. =item B<-text> Label text for "Do It!" Button. =item B<-width> Character width of the ROText widget. =back =head1 METHODS =over 4 =item $exec->execute_command; Initiates command execution. =item $exec->get_status; Returns a 2 element array of $? and $! from last command execution. =item $exec->kill_command; Terminates the command. This subroutine is called automatically via an OnDestroy handler when the ExecuteCommand widget goes away. =item $exec->terse_gui; packForgets all but the minimal ROText widget. Currently, this action cannot be rescinded. =back =head1 ADVERISED SUBWIDGETS Component subwidgets can be accessed via the B method. Valid subwidget names are listed below. =over 4 =item Name: command, Class: LabEntry Refers to the command LabEntry widget. =item Name: doit, Class: Button Refers to the command execution Button. =item Name: spacer, Class: Frame Refers to the spacer Frame separating the Entry and ROText widgets. =item Name: label, Class: Label Refers to the Label across the top of the ROText widget. =item Name: text, Class: ROText Refers to the ROText widget that collects command execution output. =back =head1 EXAMPLE $ec = $mw->ExecuteCommand( -command => '', -entryWidth => 50, -height => 10, -label => '', -text => 'Execute', )->pack; $ec->configure(-command => 'mtx -f /dev/sch0 load 1 0'); $ec->execute_command; $ec->bell; $ec->update; =head1 KEYWORDS exec, command, fork, asynchronous, non-blocking, widget =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 1999 - 2003 Stephen O.
