# Running Tasks

This section contains the minimum information required to use the GILDAS image processing tasks.

To run tasks, use the commands `RUN` and `SUBMIT` from the `VECTOR` language. Both commands are very similar. The `RUN` command will execute the task as a detached process, and the `SUBMIT` command in a batch queue named `GILDAS_BATCH`.

The `VECTOR` language contains the following commands :

      FITS            : A simple FITS -- Gildas conversion tool
      RUN Program     : Activates a GILDAS task in a detached process
      SPY [Task]      : Look at the status of one or all GILDAS tasks.
      SUBMIT Program  : Submit a GILDAS task to GILDAS_BATCH queue
      TRANSPOSE       : A command to transpose a Gildas data file.
