LP360 has several command line executable style programs that assist with productivity for different tasks, particularly when working with large amounts of data or repeating processes. These executables may be run:
- Via an MS-DOS style batch scripts
- By configuring corresponding commands and checklist steps within the GeoCue workflow software to take advantage of the command and dispatch system on top of the workflow management tools contain therein.
- Call these programs as part of standard Python processing scripts
