OMNET++: Run simulation in command line


In my omnetpp.ini file, I have these lines describing cmdenv:

[General]
cmdenv-express-mode = false
cmdenv-output-file = log.txt
cmdenv-autoflush = true
cmdenv-status-frequency = 10000000s

So my outputs are redirected to a log file. To run my simulation I access to run -> run configurations -> user interface command line

Now, I need to run the omnetpp.ini file using a server so I need to run the .ini file in command line and not using the previous steps mentioned. I followed these two solutions that I found in the mailing list but they do not work:

1) ./run -u Cmdenv -f omnetpp.ini

2) opp_run -u Cmdenv -f omnetpp.ini

This is what display:

HP-ProBook-650-G2:~/WorkspaceThese/Veins-4a2/examples/veins$ opp_run -u     Cmdenv -f omnetpp.ini

Cmdenv: redirecting output to file `/home/yosra/WorkspaceThese/Veins-        4a2/examples/veins/log.txt'...

End.

Can someone help me to fix this issue please?


Solution

  • If you are able to run your simulation in Cmdenv mode from Eclipse, you may see what Eclipse uses to run the simulation. To do it add the Console ( Window | Show View | Other | Console) and start your simulation in Cmdenv mode. In the console you will see something like this:

    Starting...
    
    $ cd /opt/omnetpp/omnetpp-4.6/samples/tictoc/simulations
    $ ../src/tictoc -r 0 -u Cmdenv -c General -n ../src;. omnetpp.ini
