If a task is a script or executable?

Andrew Staunton wrote on Nov 28, 2010

Can anyone tell me what is the easiest way to find out if a task is a script file or an executable program? ie. is it possible to bring up a list of all tasks that are script files?

I understand "help <taskname> option=source" will bring up the script file (if it is a script task), however that seems like a fairly hit and miss way to check..

I mainly want to look at script tasks for study purposes.

Thanks

Andrew

Scripts typically have ".cl" file extensions, so you can just browse the system for .cl files. A more automated way is e.g.

% cd $iraf
% find . -name \*.cl -print -exec egrep -e ^task {} \; | egrep -e "\.cl" 

and you'll get a list of all task declarations and the script source name.
