CELLNAME [system getcellnames.sh]
-----------------

When this test is run an xterm will pop up. In that xterm the
environment is exactly that in which the script "getcellnames.sh"
would run. You can now debug the script to find out why it isn't
working as expected.

would run. You can now debug the script to find out why it isn't
working as expected.

NOTE: This technique can be very helpful in debugging running of EDA tools in Perl, Ruby, Python or tcl scripts:

.Perl example
..............................
some_code();
$cmdline="virtuoso -some-switches and params ...";
print "$cmdline"; # print the command line so you can paste it into the xterm that pops up
system("xterm");  # this line is added for the debug and removed when done
system($cmdline);
more_code();
