Starting a MEDIASRV Process Using the RUN
Command
If the OUT option is missing, the command interpreter assigns a default logging
file, usually the home terminal. If the OUT option is included but no value for
filename is specified, logging is inhibited. If the OUT option is followed by a
file name, logging output goes to that file.
PRI priority
specifies the execution priority of the process. The priority of the MEDIASRV
process should be higher than the priority of the applications it serves; 190 is
suggested as a starting value.
SWAP volname
specifies the disk volume on which the process data area is swapped. If this
option is omitted, the volume containing the program file is used. This volume
is also used for extended memory swapping if you do not include the
SWAPVOL startup parameter in the RUN command.
TERM hometerm
specifies the process home terminal, which is used as an emergency output
device. If you omit this option, the process uses the home terminal of the
command interpreter process.
AUTOSTOP time [ HRS | MINS | SECS ]
specifies how long the MEDIASRV process waits before stopping itself if it is not
opened by another process. Select time from these values:
If this parameter is omitted, the default value for time is 0. If you specify time as
anything less than five minutes (300 seconds), time is adjusted to be five minutes
(300 seconds).
-1 The MEDIASRV process runs until it is explicitly stopped.
0 The MEDIASRV process stops after the last requester closes it
(default).
1…999 HRS The MEDIASRV process runs for the specified number of hours
after the last requester closes it and then stops itself.
5…9999 MINS The MEDIASRV process runs for the specified number of minutes
after the last requester closes it and then stops itself.
300…9999 [SECS] The MEDIASRV process runs for the specified number of seconds
after the last requester closes it and then stops itself.
