The unixas utility is an experimental utility designed to squirt as commands into a running CR server.

In order for it to find the ConferenceRoom server, however, it must be started with its current working directory being the CR directory. If this is a problem, you can wrap it in a shell script, for example:
#!/usr/bin/bash
cd /path/to/my/CR1.7/
./programs/unixas

It works like a pipe, accepting standard CR configuration commands (without the as part) and returning responses. Normal output is sent to stdout and can be redirected as necessary. Any errors generated are sent to stderr.

Here's an example of unixas in use:
echo "util rehash" | ./programs/unixas

Sucess: Data follows
Rehash done

If you have many commands to send to a CR server over a period of time, you can leave unixas running and send it commands as necessary.

This utility is to be considered experimental. WebMaster reserves the right to remove or modify this functionality in subsequent releases or versions.
