Displaying Named Process Information (PPD

Command)

A report such as this is sent to your home terminal:

Interpreting STATUS Command Displays

The following describes the elements of the STATUS command display:

Process is the name of the process (whether or not it is a backup process), the

number of the processor, and the process identification number (PIN). “B” indicates a

backup process. A blank indicates an unnamed process.

The second column shows the CPU number where the process is running and the PIN

for the process in that CPU.

Pri is the execution priority of the process.

PFR can contain the following codes:

%WT is the process wait state (in octal). A value of 000 indicates the process is not

waiting.

Userid is the group and user ID number under which the process is running.

Program file is the name of the program file that started the process.

Hometerm is the name of the terminal that is designated as the home terminal for

the process, which is where the process was started.

Displaying Named Process Information (PPD Command)

The PPD command displays the names, process IDs, and ancestors (the process creators)

of named processes currently in the destination control table (DCT), a table that contains

information about processes.

Use the PPD command if you know the name of a process and want to find out its CPU

and process identification number (PIN) (and the CPU and PIN of its backup, if one

exists), or if you want to find out what process created a named process.
