Monitoring Line-Handler Process Status

A line-handler process is a component of a data communications subsystem. It is an

I/O process that transmits and receives data on a communications line, either directly

or by communicating with another I/O process. This subsection explains how to

monitor the status of a line-handler process on your system or on another system in

your network to which you have remote access.

To check the status of a line-handler process on your system:

> SCF STATUS LINE $line

A listing similar to this example is sent to your home terminal:

This listing shows that the Expand line-handler process being monitored is up and

functioning normally.

The data shown in the report means:

If any state other than STARTED appears, check the meaning of the state in SCF

Object States on page 3-15. Depending upon the type of problem, follow your

established procedures for problem reporting and escalation.
