The command level interface is provided by the 'ecflow_client' executable. By calling:
ecflow_client --help
We can get the list of all the available commands.
Most users of ecFlow will be happy to use GUI, but some things cannot be done using GUI. Note also that most of the commands that you execute using GUI are actually CLI commands .
The very first argument to 'ecflow_client' must begin with '–'
ecflow_client --load=/my/home/fred.def
