Stopping the solver running in the given directory at the end of the current timestep:

<CFXROOT>/bin/cfx5control <directory> -stop

Instructing the solver running in the named directory to write a backup results file.

<CFXROOT>/bin/cfx5control <directory> -backup

Editing the Command Language during a run:

<CFXROOT>/bin/cfx5control <directory> -edit-commands [-no-backup]

Reading Command Language from a file and implementing it on the fly.

<CFXROOT>/bin/cfx5control <directory> -inject-commands <file> [-no-backup]

Adjusting the priority of a CFX-Solver run by resetting the run priority on Windows or altering the nice increment on non-Windows platforms. This applies to all solver processes in a parallel run.

<CFXROOT>/bin/cfx5control <directory> -reset-priority <level>

where <level> is one of Idle, Low, Standard or High, as given in the following table:

If the current priority level is the same as <level>, then there is no change. Administrative (or root) privileges are usually required to increase the priority from a lower level to a higher level. When the change of priority is attempted, then the CFX-Solver will write a diagnostic message into the CFX-Solver Output file of the form:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
|            ****** Updating Runtime Priority ******                 |
|                                                                    |
|      <outcome of the attempt to change the run priority>           |
|                                                                    |
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+

Displaying help for this command:

<CFXROOT>/bin/cfx5control -help

<CFXROOT> is the path to your installation of CFX

<directory> specifies a directory in which the Ansys CFX solver is currently running, such as StaticMixer_004.dir.

-no-backup prevents the solver from writing a backup file before reading the new Command Language file.
