Monitoring OSS Processes From the OSS

Monitoring OSS Processes From the OSS Environment
The OSS shell ps command has a -W flag with many options for monitoring processes
from the OSS environment. You can monitor processes:
•
In a given processor
•
By Guardian process name
•
By Guardian filename
•
By priority
•
By user
•
By NonStop S-series or NonStop NS-series node
•
By using terminal
See the ps(1) reference page either online or in the Open System Services Shell and
Utilities Reference Manual for more information about that facility.
Monitoring OSS Processes From the Guardian Environment
The TACL STATUS command in the Guardian environment reports information about
processes running in the OSS environment:
•
A STATUS command for an OSS process returns information about the pathname
of the executing program file and indicates that the process has an OSS
process ID. For example, the TACL command:
STATUS 4,354
would return a display similar to Figure 2-4 when that process is the OSS shell. In
the output, the X to the left of the Guardian cpu,pin under “Process” indicates that
the process has an OSS process ID.
•
A STATUS, DETAIL command provides more information in a different format. For
example, a STATUS *, DETAIL command could return information about a copy of
an iTP WebServer utility process among the rest of its output, as shown in
Figure 2-5 on page 2-22.
