Running OSSREMOV
7. If you respond No, OSSREMOV terminates. If you respond Yes, OSSREMOV may
display this prompt:
Do you want the NULL process ($NULL) completely removed?
<yes/[NO]>:
Respond either Yes or No (case is ignored) or by pressing Return (which is
equivalent to responding No). If unsure, respond No.
8. OSSREMOV may display this prompt:
Do you want the security manager process ($ZSMP) completely
removed? <yes/[NO]>:
Respond either Yes or No (case is ignored) or by pressing Return (which is
equivalent to responding No). If unsure, respond No.
If either $ZSMP or $NULL is missing and the EASYSETUP^STARTUP param is set,
then OSSREMOV or STOPOSS will start that missing process.
Process missing. security manager process ($ZSMP) startup: STARTING
SCF-> START PROCESS $ZZKRN.#ZSMP
security manager process ($ZSMP) startup: COMPLETED
If OSSREMOV starts $ZSMP, OSSREMOV will stop $ZSMP before OSSREMOV itself
stops.
OSSREMOV removes the OSS subsystem.
Example 3-1 on page 3-4 shows an OSSREMOV session, including the prompts and
status messages. User input is shown in bold.
Caution. It is no longer required to start $NULL before starting the OSS Monitor; however,
many applications use $NULL, and they might not work correctly if OSSREMOV removes it.
Caution. It is no longer required to start $ZSMP before starting the OSS Monitor; however,
Safeguard uses $ZSMP. If your system uses Safeguard and OSSREMOV removes $ZSMP,
you will have difficulty accessing Guardian files.
