CPO (CREATE_PROCESS_SERVER) -- Create process independent of login.
usage:  cps pathname [-n name] [args ...]


FORMAT

  CPS pathname [options]


  CPS  creates  a  process  (without  associated  pads  or  windows)  that  runs
  regardless of whether or not any one is logged in.    This  is  desirable  for
  utilities  like the PRSVR (PRINT_SERVER) and NETMAN.  CPS may appear in any of
  the DM startup scripts.  You may prefer to issue  the  CPS  command  from  the
  keyboard  on selected occasions, however, rather than include this function in
  a startup script.

  The   created   process   is   assigned   the   subject    identifier    (SID)
  USER.SERVER.NONE.local_node regardless of the context in which the CPS command
  appears.


ARGUMENTS

  pathname
  (required)         Specify file to be executed by the new process.


OPTIONS

  -N name            Assign process name 'name'.  If this option is omitted, the
                     process is not named.

  args . . .           Specify  any  arguments  to  be  passed  to  the  program
                     'pathname'.  If any of  these  arguments  contain  explicit
                     blanks, enclose those arguments in quotation marks.
