How PRM manages applications

Next, assume the user launches the bar application, which also has an
application record.
% bar
The application starts in the invoking user’s initial group. However, the
application manager will soon place the application in the group
specified in the application record, GroupF.
The user then starts another program:
% phone_home
This application name is an exact match of an alternate name. If
phone_home has the same file ID as /bin/call_home, the phone_home
process is placed in GroupE.
Another user on the system starts a program:
% telegraph_home
This application name matches two alternate names, both specified
using regular expressions: tele*_home and *home. Sorting based on the
ASCII dictionary, the application matches *home first. Assuming
telegraph_home has the same file ID as /bin/call_home, it is placed in
GroupZ.
Starting one more program:
% call_home
The call_home command is matched by the first and eighth records.
(The second and fourth records do not match because PRM expands the
regular expressions when the configuration is loaded and finds
call_home already has a record.) The eighth record takes precedence
because it has an alternate name, and the call_home process is placed in
GroupZ.
NOTE Be careful when constructing regular expressions: As shown with the
eighth record above, an expression that is not specific enough can
override explicit application records.
