Remote Process Management
RPMCREATE
• flags [1] (input). Causes the calling process to wait in
this intrinsic call until the new process terminates.
(The RPMCREATE call will complete only after the
new process finishes executing.)
• flags
[2] (input). Causes RPM to create a process
using RPM protocols from HP’s software release UB
Delta 1 or earlier. In software release UB Delta 1 or
earlier, RPM flags 3 and 30 are not supported.
• flags
[3] (input). Causes RPMCREATE to fail if the
remote node has a version of RPM installed that is
from HP’s software release UB Delta 1 or earlier. By
default, if the remote node does not have the newer
RPM installed, RPMCREATE will act as if flags
[2] is
set and conform to the older format.
• flags (input). Causes the remote node to create the
process into a session that may accommodate
multiple RPM created processes. By default
RPMCREATE will only create one remote process per
remote session.
• flags
[31] (input). Makes the created process
dependent on the creator. When the creator process
dies, the created process will be killed. (If this bit is
off, the created process will continue executing on its
own.) Default: off; created process is independent of
its creator.
opt Record or byte array, by reference. A list of options,
with associated information. The following options are
defined:
• RPM string (option code 20000, n-byte array).
Permits information to be sent to the created process
in the data portion of the opt parameter, such as a
socket name. More than one RPM string can be
included. The strings may be retrieved by the new
process (using RPMGETSTRING) in the same order
that they occur in the opt parameter.
• Entry point (code 22001, n-byte array). The data
portion of this parameter contains a string,
terminated by a blank, specifying the entry point
(label) in the program where execution is to begin
when the process is activated. A blank by itself
indicates the primary entry point. This parameter
corresponds to item number 1 of the MPE/iX
CREATEPROCESS intrinsic. The contents of this
