NEWPROCESS Procedure
(Superseded by PROCESS_LAUNCH_ Procedure )
OSS Considerations
•
You cannot create an OSS process using the NEWPROCESS procedure.
NEWPROCESS returns error 12 if you try.
•
You can call NEWPROCESS from an OSS process to create a Guardian process.
•
Every Guardian process has the following security-related attributes for accessing
OSS objects. These attributes are passed, unchanged, from the caller to the new
process, whether the caller is an OSS process or a Guardian process:
•
Real, effective, and saved user ID
•
Real, effective, and saved group ID
•
Group list
•
Login name
•
Current working directory (cwd)
•
Maximum file size
•
Default OSS file security
No other OSS process attribute is inherited by the new process.
•
OSS file opens in the calling process are not propagated to the new process.
Example
CALL NEWPROCESS ( pfile^name, , , , process^id, error );
