+ <comsummary>Shell script used for starting
+ Common Test from the Unix command line.
+ </comsummary>
+
+ <description>
+ <p>The <c>run_test</c> script is automatically generated as Common
+ Test is installed (please see the Installation chapter in the Common
+ Test User's Guide for more information). The script accepts a number
+ of different start flags. Some flags trigger <c>run_test</c>
+ to start the Common Test application and pass on data to it. Some
+ flags start an Erlang node prepared for running Common Test in a
+ particular mode.</p>
+ <p><c>run_test</c> also accepts Erlang emulator
+ flags. These are used when <c>run_test</c> calls <c>erl</c> to
+ start the Erlang node (making it possible to e.g. add directories to
+ the code server path, change the cookie on the node, start
+ additional applications, etc).</p>
+ <p>If <c>run_test</c> is called without parameters, it prints all valid
+ start flags to stdout.</p>
