!! Command Line Interface

All other %blue%A%red%P%black%Monitor interfaces are wrappers for the command line interface.  A problem is executed from the command line interface with parameters that follow the %blue%A%red%P%black%Monitor executable name.

apmonitor ''model_name'' {''-flags''}

The optional flags are listed below.  The command line parameters are converted to upper-case letters automatically so lower-case parameters are also acceptable.  This list of flags can also be obtained by including a non-existant flag, such as ''-help''.

    -P                      = generate sparsity.unt (dummy file)
    -UNLC_COLDSTART  (-COLD)= coldstart flag
    -SPECS                  = read specs from restart file

    -UNLC_SKIPREAD          = skip DBS file read
    -UNLC_SKIPWRITE        = skip DBS file write
    -UNLC_SKIPREADWRITE    = skip DBS file read and write

    -UNLC_SSTATE    (-SS)  = steady state mode
    -UNLC_SSTATE_MPU (-SS_EST) = steady state MPU mode
    -UNLC_SSTATE_CTL (-SS_CTL) = steady state control mode
    -UNLC_ONLINE_SIM (-SIM) = on-line simulation mode
    -UNLC_ONLINE_EST (-EST) = on-line estimation mode
    -UNLC_ONLINE_CTL (-CTL) = on-line control mode
