15.2 Submitting Jobs from Windows
The “HercRdr” program is distributed as part of Fish’s GUI package and allows you to send jobs to a
socket reader via TCP/IP. Simply enter “HercRdr” from the command line (i.e. from a “Command Prompt”
window if you are using Windows NT / 2K / XP) to submit your file(s).
The following screen print shows the help information from the HercRdr program that is displayed
whenever the program is called without parameters:
D:\HERCULES>hercrdr

Where:
-nnn timeout value in seconds (1-999; default is 3)
host:port sock_spec of target reader (if not specified,
value of HERCRDR environ var is used, if set)
file file(s) to be submitted
Examples:
HERCRDR localhost:1234 fileone.txt filetwo.txt
set HERCRDR=localhost:1234
HERCRDR file3.txt file4.txt
HERCRDR override:5678 filefive.txt
HERCRDR 192.168.0.1:5678 666.txt 777.txt 888.txt 999.txt
