ADD EVENT-EXIT-PROCESS Command
SWAP [$vol[.subvol.filename]]
specifies the name of the volume or file to be used as the swap volume or file
for the event-exit process. $vol must be a local volume name. You can
optionally supply a local subvolume name and file name.
If you omit this attribute, the value used for SWAP when starting PROG is the
same volume that contains the PROG object file.
PNAME [process-name]
specifies the process name to be assigned to the event-exit process when it is
started. process-name must be a local process name. Avoid using an
existing process name because Safeguard will kill that process before it starts
the event-exit process.
The default value is no process name, which indicates that the Safeguard
software is to generate a process name. If you omit this attribute, it is set to the
default value.
CPU [cpu-number | ANY]
specifies the number of the CPU in which the event-exit process is to run. If
you specify ANY, any CPU is used.
The default value is ANY CPU. If you omit this attribute, it is set to the default
value.
PRI [priority]
specifies the priority at which the event-exit process is to run.
The default value is 155. If you omit this attribute, it is set to the default value.
PARAM-TEXT [startup-param-text]
specifies up to 255 characters of data to be supplied as the startup message
text for the event-exit process. If you specify the PARAM-TEXT attribute, it
must be the last attribute in the command string.
The default value is no text. If you omit this attribute, it is set to the default
value.
Considerations
•
The event-exit process must be multithreaded and must perform NOWAITED I/O.
Note. Startup message text is commonly used to specify a backup CPU. You can use startup
message text to specify a backup CPU for the event-exit process. To do so, specify the backup
CPU number as the first character of startup-param-text. You can add any subsequent
parameters after a semicolon.
