ACTIVATE Command
ACTIVATE Command
Use the ACTIVATE command to restart a process previously suspended by the
SUSPEND Command on page 8-220 or the #SUSPENDPROCESS Built-In Function
on page 9-396.
\node-name
is the system where the process resides.
$process-name
is the name of the process or process pair you want to restart.
cpu,pin
is the CPU number and process identification number for the process you want to
restart.
Considerations
•
If you omit the process specification, ACTIVATE restarts the last process TACL
started or for which TACL paused, if that process is still running. That process is
called the default process. You can use the #PROCESS Built-In Function on
page 9-292 to determine the name or CPU and PIN of the default process. If no
default process exists, you must include a process specification.
•
The super ID can activate any suspended process.
•
A group manager whose process accessor ID matches the user ID of any member
of the group can activate any suspended process owned by someone in the group.
(For a discussion of process accessor IDs, see the Guardian User’s Guide. For
restrictions that apply to processes running on remote systems, see the Expand
Network Management and Troubleshooting Guide.)
•
Users other than super-group users and group managers can activate only those
processes with a process accessor ID that matches their own user ID.
•
A restarted process is placed in the queue of processes that are waiting for
execution. In the queue, the process with the highest priority is executed first, so a
newly activated process immediately begins execution only if it has the highest
execution priority. You can set execution priority with the ALTPRI Command on
page 8-20.
