2 Operating System
The H06.07 RVU contains these operating system changes:
•
Kernel Subsystem
•
OSS Standard Security APIs
Kernel Subsystem
A new feature is added to the existing functionality of configuring and managing
generic processes through Subsystem Control Facility (SCF). SCF now supports
ASSIGN, PARAM, and DEFINE values.
You can use the SCF ADD PROCESS command to add ASSIGN, PARAM, and
DEFINE values to a generic process. Also, you can use SCF commands such as
ALTER PROCESS, INFO PROCESS, and DELETE PROCESS, respectively, to alter,
view, and delete the ASSIGN, PARAM, and DEFINE values for a generic process. This
feature is similar to the existing ASSIGN, PARAM, and DEFINE functionality in TACL.
For details, see the SCF Reference Manual for the Kernel Subsystem.
OSS Standard Security APIs
The NonStop Open System Services (OSS) environment now supports these
functions:
•
getsid() — Obtain the session ID of a process
•
setpgrp() — Set the process group
For detailed information about these functions, see the Open System Services System
Calls Reference Manual.
