Monitoring Processes
Monitoring Processes
This subsection briefly provides examples of some of the tools available to monitor
processes. For some processes, such as IOPs, monitoring is more fully discussed in
other manuals. In general, use this method to monitor processes:
1. Develop a list of processes that are crucial to the operation of your system.
2. Determine how each of these processes is configured.
3. Use the appropriate tool to monitor the process.
Monitoring System Processes
Check that the system processes are up and running in the processors as you
intended. At a TACL prompt:
> STATUS *
This example shows partial output produced by the TACL STATUS * command:
$SYSTEM STARTUP 2> status *
