graphical user interface (GUI)
graphical user interface (GUI). A user interface that offers point-and-click access to
program functions.
ground. A conducting connection, whether intentional or accidental, between an electrical
circuit and either the earth or some conducting body that serves in place of the earth,
such as an underground metal water pipe, structural steel, or a ground rod driven into
the earth. See also earth ground.
grounded. Connected to earth or to some conducting body that serves in place of the earth.
grounded conductor. A system or circuit conductor that is intentionally grounded.
ground fault. Any undesired current path from a point of differing potential to ground.
ground fault interrupter. A device that interrupts the electric current to the load when a
fault current to ground exceeds a predetermined value that is less than that required to
operate the overcurrent protection device of the supply circuit.
grounding conductor. A conductor used to connect equipment of the grounded circuit of a
wiring system to one or more earth-grounding electrodes. See also earth-grounding
electrode.
group. (1) The set of all objects accessible by a pair of service processors (SPs) located in
the processor multifunction (PMF) customer-replaceable unit (CRU). In an HP
NonStop™ S-series server, a system enclosure has exactly one group. (2) In the
Open System Services (OSS) environment, a set of user IDs with the same group ID.
group database. A database on a node that contains the group name, group ID, and user
names for each group using that node.
group ID. The nonnegative integer used to identify a group of users of an HP NonStop™
network node. Each user of a node is a member of at least one group. When the
identity of a group is associated with an Open System Services (OSS) process, a
group ID value is referred to as one of the following:
•
Real group ID
•
Effective group ID
•
Supplementary group ID
•
Saved-set group ID
group list. An Open System Services (OSS) process attribute that is used with the effective
group ID of the process to determine the file access permissions for the process.
GRT. See Guided Replacement Toolkit (GRT).
Guardian. An environment available for interactive or programmatic use with the HP
NonStop™ Kernel operating system. Processes that run in the Guardian environment
usually use the Guardian system procedure calls as their application program
interface; interactive users of the Guardian environment usually use the HP Tandem
