Run hcicmd from a tcl script

    Hello – I have a tcl script that gathers inbound and outbound thread lists by loading the NetConfig, extracting key pair information.

    I would like to run the hcicmd command on the lists to stop the threads; only way that I’ve come across to run the command is to use “exec”; this works great for stopping/starting the threads from the tcl script.

    Does stopping/starting the threads with “exec” in the tcl script put a load/stress on the linux box to be concerned about in general?   Does it or will it leave files, locks, linux processes open?  Hope I’m making some sense.   If there’s perhaps an exising similar script to stop/start threads from tcl script that I can use for reference that would be great.  Thanks in advance.

      This should not put any more strain on the O/S than stopping/starting from the GUI.

      Nor should it affect any of the other objects such as you indicate.

      I am fairly sure that hcicmd is what is being executed by the GUI when you stop/start threads.
