Process File Names for Named Processes

The syntax for a process file name that identifies a named process is:

node

specifies the name of the node on which the process is running. A node name

consists of a backslash (\) followed by one to seven alphanumeric characters; the

first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

process-name

specifies the name of the process. A process name consists of a dollar sign ($)

followed by one to five alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character

must be a letter.

seq-no

specifies the system-assigned sequence number of the process. seq-no has a

maximum of 13 digits. Leading zeros must be suppressed. A colon (:) separates

process-name from seq-no.

qual-1 and qual-2

are optional qualifiers. qual-1 consists of a pound sign (#) followed by one to

seven alphanumeric characters; the first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

qual-2 contains one to eight alphanumeric characters; the first character must be

a letter.
