Task 1: Check the Status of the User’s TACL Process
Check the status of a user’s TACL process to see what processes are running on the
user’s terminal:
1. Determine the user’s terminal name (for example $JT1.#J01) by asking the user or
by checking your files or records, and make a note of it.
2. Check the status of all processes (including the TACL process):
> STATUS *, TERM $terminal-name
If no TACL process is running, the user might have exited from the TACL process. If
this is the case, go to Task 5: Start a New TACL Process on page 16-29. Otherwise,
continue with Task 2: Check for Hardware Problems on page 16-27.
For more information about the STATUS command, see the TACL Reference Manual.
Example
To check the status of the TACL process running on the terminal $JT1.#J01, enter:
> STATUS *, TERM $JT1.#J01
