STATUS Command
•
If the output of the STATUS command includes the Swap File Name parameter
and no swap file name has been set with either (or both) the SWAP swap-file
option of the RUN command or the SET SWAP [ $volume-name ] command, a
dummy file name, "$vol.#0", is returned. In this case, #vol is the name of the
physical volume that the operating system has selected for storing the swap file. In
the following example, “$SYSTEM.#0” is a dummy file name. The operating
system is using the $SYSTEM volume if a swap file is required.
Swap File Name: $SYSTEM.#0
•
If you do not specify a FORCED option and _DO_NOT_PROMPT_TACL_STOP is
OFF, TACL returns the following prompt:
This command will display the processes satisfying the
command parameters and then, stop them. Do you really want to
stop the processes (y/[n])?
The command displays and stops the qualified processes only if user enters y or Y.
For any other input, it does not display and stop the qualified processes.
To avoid confirmation message, user can do the following:
1. Use the FORCED option in the STATUS command, for example STATUS *,
STOP, FORCED or STATUS <cpu>, STOP, and FORCED.
2. Use the command through the obey file.
3. Issue the SET _DO_NOT_PROMPT_TACL_STOP ON command in the
TACLLOCL file, TACLCSTM file, or TACL prompt.
4. The output from the STATUS command can include information for OSS
processes: the OSS program pathname, OSS arguments, and OSS process
ID. Currently, only local OSS information can be obtained. For pre-D30
software RVUs, OSS information cannot be obtained.
In the summary form of the STATUS command, the short form of the OSS program
pathname is output. In the detailed form of the STATUS command, the fully
qualified OSS program pathname, the OSS arguments, and the OSS process ID
are output.
The “Program file” display is limited to 26 characters. An OSS pathname can have
a maximum of 1024 characters. If the fully qualified OSS program pathname is 26
or fewer characters, then the entire name is output, as illustrated in this example:
STATUS *,USER
Process Pri PFR %WT Userid Program file Hometerm
$DCED X 0,339 155 004 255,161 /opt/dcelocal/bin/dced $ZTNT.#P
Otherwise, only the filename portion of the name is output.
