Pidfile
serverclassname 
a valid NonStop TS/MP server class name. If you do not specify a server-class 
name, the server class is presumed to have the same name as the file, minus the 
extension. For example, the file logon.ab_demo would be referred to a server class 
called logon in the PATHMON environment indicated by the PATHMON name.
Examples
Here are some examples of the PathwayMimeMap directive. The first example 
specifies a server-class name, the second specifies a PATHMON name, and the third 
specifies both:
PathwayMimeMap tcltcl-server
PathwayMimeMap userapp/G/UA
PathwayMimeMap userapp2/G/UA:ua2-server
The next set of examples shows the relationship between a PathwayMimeMap 
directive and the corresponding MimeType directive. The MimeType directive must 
precede the PathwayMimeMap directive but does not have to appear directly before it 
as shown. The two MimeType directives below indicate that files with the extension 
cgi and ab_demo have the MIME type 
application x/httpd-guardian. The 
corresponding PathwayMimeMap directives indicate that files with the extension cgi 
are processed by the generic-cgi server class, and files with the extension ab_demo are 
processed by a server class under control of the PATHMON process /G/ZAB or $ZAB.
MimeType application x/httpd-guardian cgi
PathwayMimeMap cgi generic-cgi
MimeType application/x-httpd-guardian ab_demo
PathwayMimeMap ab_demo /G/ZAB
