This process is the initiator. It starts all other processes, socket connections for all
client and GUI connections. All messages from the client process and GUI are sent
here and then sent along to TSIMSMMS5.
TSIMSMMS1:
This process handles all control path (mount, dismount, import and exports).

This process filters the $0 collector for any $ZSVR for mount, dismount, reject or
canceled messages.
TSIMSMMS4:

This process receives all backup requests from the GUI through TSIMSMMS0. Will
save all backup requests that have been scheduled.

tape has been mounted.
