Application record syntax
This section explains the application record syntax.
Application records assign applications to PRM groups. Each record
specifies an application and the PRM group it and its child processes can
run in. Application records are optional; if an application does not have a
record, it runs in the PRM group of the user who invoked it.
Specify application records using the following syntax:
APPLICATION::::GROUP[,ALT_NAME[,...,ALT_NAME]]
where
APPLICATION Specifies the full pathname of an executable
application, the shell/interpreter in the case of a script,
or your Java binary—starting with a slash (/).
NOTE For scripts, the full path of the shell/interpreter used in
the script must appear in either the file /etc/shells or
the file /opt/prm/shells.
For Java programs, the path of the Java being used—as
displayed in ps output—must appear in either
/etc/shells or /opt/prm/shells. For an example, see
“Launching a Java program under PRM” on page 138.
You can use wildcards ([, ], ?, and *) to specify the
filename, but not the directory name. For more
information on wildcards in application filenames, see
“Pattern matching for filenames” on page 63.
NOTE If a specified application does not exist, PRM generates
a warning. This condition is a warning rather than an
error so that you can use the same configuration file on
multiple machines.
