INFO PROCESS and SUBPROCESS Commands

Considerations
•
Freezing the process name for a process that is currently open
Freezing the process name of a process or subprocess that is currently running
and that has been opened by other processes has no effect on these other
processes until they close the process or subprocess. Then any attempt to reopen
the process or subprocess returns a security violation error (file error 48).
•
Accessing to a frozen process or subprocess
While a process name is frozen, all owners of the process name authorization
record and the primary owner’s group manager have all the access authorities
(READ, WRITE, CREATE, PURGE, and OWNER) for that process name.
Unless explicitly denied, the local super ID also retains ownership and has all the
authority of any user or group manager on the ACL.
Example
The owner of the authorization record for the process name $LIST suspends access to
this name:
=FREEZE PROCESS $list
