General Usage : db

db is a complex interactive model railway control program. Being started without further arguments, a brief command summary is printed. First, the position of each train on the model railway must be specified using the command a ("aufsetzen"). After that, drive commands may be issued by using the f command ("fahren"). The program is terminated by typing q ("quit").

General Usage : dbplan

The non-interactive model railway control program dbplan must be started with the name of a schedule file as command line argument. The schedule file is subsequently read and the schedule is processed infinitely. By pressing Ctrl-C, the schedule of each train is processed to its end. By pressing Ctrl-C again, all trains are stopped and the program is terminated immediately.
