APPLICATION EXECUTION
Establishing a PATHWAY System for Two or More Users
To avoid the time involved in configuring the PATHWAY system, you
can start PATHWAY in a cool state by entering the commands shown
in Figure 6-3. A cool state is one in which a previous PATHWAY
configuration exists. When you start PATHWAY in a cool state,
PATHMON uses the configuration information stored in the existing
assigned PATHCTL file.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
| |
| ASSIGN PATHCTL, <path-control-file> |
| PATHMON/NAME <pathmon-name>, CPU 0, NOWAIT, OUT <log-file> / |
| |
| PATHCOM <pathmon-name>; START PATHWAY COOL |
| |
| <path-control-file> |
| |
| is the file to which you assigned the PATHCTL file when |
| you originally established the PATHWAY system. |
| |
| <pathmon-name> |
| |
| is a name that you supply for the PATHMON process. This |
| name must conform to the rules described in Figure 6-1. |
| |
| <log-file> |
| |
| is the name of the log file. |

Figure 6-3. Starting PATHWAY in a Cool State
ESTABLISHING A PATHWAY SYSTEM FOR TWO OR MORE USERS
The PATHCOM command file generated by ENABLE contains commands
that allow up to five individuals to use a PATHWAY system
concurrently. If you want to allow several individuals to use an
application at the same time, you must create separate obey files
to establish the PATHWAY system, execute the application, and
SHUTDOWN the PATHWAY system.
Figure 6-4 shows an example of an obey file that establishes a
PATHWAY system. Note that this figure contains the first five
lines from Figure 6-2.
