Keep waveform window after closing ocean?

    Dear all,

    I have an ocean script which runs a corner simulation and plots some
    curves to a waveform window. However, I can not use command line
    method to run the script, i.e. ocean < oceanScript.ocn because if I do
    so, the waveform will be close after the completion of the ocean
    script.

    The only way to keep the waveform window is to keep the ocean alive,
    i.e. open an ocean environment first and load("./oceanScript.ocn").
    But this is really not convenient.

    Is there any way of exiting the ocean environment while keeping the
    waveform window? I'd glad to know.

    Thanks,

    pplum

    Hi there,

    launching ocean by UNIX input redirection will of course close your
    waveform since the ocean job exits at the end. There is nothing to do
    for this as far as I know. Running a proper ocean environment would be
    OK as you have already found.
    Have you tried to run ocean with the restore option, i.e:
    UNIX> ocean -restore oceanScript.ocn
    this will keep ocean in interactive mode.

    Hope this helps !

    Riad.

    Hi Riad, Thanks. The command option will keep the ocean environment
    alive so that the graph can be kept. This might be the only way
    here...
