Firing Jobs

vovfire

The utility vovfire is used to run one or more jobs specified by their VovId on the local machine. vovfire takes care of switching environment and of changing working directory.

When using vovfire, you take on the responsibility of deciding that the local host has the appropriate resources to execute the job.

For example, the following command runs the jobs with VovId 00000308 and 00000336 on the local host, which happens to be a Windows NT machine (notice the backslashes in the directory names):
