In a large suite, with hundreds of tasks, you would need to execute the same commands in each of them. Editing just a single (header) file is somewhat easier than editing them all.

Code Block
titlehead.h
#!%SHELL:/bin/kshksh% # allow the shell to be configured
set -e          # stop the shell on first error
set -u          # fail when using an undefined variable
set -x          # echo script lines as they are executed
set -o pipefail # fail if last(rightmost) command exits with a non-zero status
 
# Defines the variables that are needed for any communication with ECF
export ECF_PORT=%ECF_PORT%    # The server port number
export ECF_HOST=%ECF_HOST%    # The host name ofwhere ecfthe hostserver that issued this taskis running
export ECF_NAME=%ECF_NAME%    # The name of this current task
export ECF_PASS=%ECF_PASS%    # A unique password, used for job validation & zombie detection
export ECF_TRYNO=%ECF_TRYNO%  # Current try number of the task
export ECF_RID=$$             # record the process id. Also used for zombie detection
# export NO_ECF=1             # uncomment to run as a standalone task on the command line
 
# Define the path where to find ecflow_client
# make sure client and server use the *same* version.
# Important when there are multiple versions of ecFlow
export PATH=/usr/local/apps/ecflow/%ECF_VERSION%/bin:$PATH
 
# Tell ecFlow we have started
ecflow_client --init=$$
 
 
# Define a error handler
ERROR() {
   set +e                      # Clear -e flag, so we don't fail
   wait                        # wait for background process to stop
   ecflow_client --abort=trap  # Notify ecFlow that something went wrong, using 'trap' as the reason
   trap 0                      # Remove the trap
   exit 0                      # End the script cleanly, server monitors child, an exit 1, will cause another abort and zombie
}
 
 
# Trap any calls to exit and errors caught by the -e flag
trap ERROR 0
 
 
# Trap any signal that may cause the script to fail
trap '{ echo "Killed by a signal"; ERROR ; }' 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 10 12 13 15 

The same applies to the end of the task. You want to tell the ecFlow that the task is complete by using ecflow_client --complete(CLI) and un-trap the shell.
