Function Documentation

ngcppExec()

int ngcppExec	(	const char *	host,
		const char *	cmd,
		int	xt,
		int	debugPort,
		int *	pid,
		char *	erms )

Execute an acquisition process on a remote host host. If xt-flag is one, verbose output is done on a new x-terminal. If the debugPort is greater than zero, the verbose output is sent to this port. The function returns a process id (pid) to be used for ngcppComKill().

ngcppKill()

int ngcppKill	(	const char *	host,
		int	pid,
		char *	erms )

Send a termination signal to the acquisition process on host.
