NAME
run_test - Shell script used for starting
Common Test from the Unix command line.
DESCRIPTION
The run_test script is automatically generated as Common Test is
installed (please see the Installation chapter in the Common Test
User’s Guide for more information). The script accepts a number of
different start flags. Some flags trigger run_test to start the Common
Test application and pass on data to it. Some flags start an Erlang
node prepared for running Common Test in a particular mode.
run_test also accepts Erlang emulator flags. These are used when
run_test calls erl to start the Erlang node (making it possible to e.g.
add directories to the code server path, change the cookie on the node,
start additional applications, etc).
If run_test is called without parameters, it prints all valid start
flags to stdout.
