PATHMON and PATHCOM Startup

Commands

This section describes the TACL commands for starting the PATHMON process and

PATHCOM.

Before starting PATHCOM, you must start the PATHMON process, the central control

process of a Pathway environment. The default name of the PATHMON object file is

$SYSTEM.SYSTEM.PATHMON.

Starting the PATHMON Process

You start the PATHMON process by entering the PATHMON command through the

TACL command interpreter.

$process-name

is the name of the PATHMON process. The name can be a maximum of 6

characters. $process-name begins with a dollar sign ($), followed by 1 to 5

alphanumeric characters. The first alphanumeric character must be a letter.

If the PATHMON process name is to be used across a network, $process-name

can be no longer than 5 characters, that is, a dollar sign ($) followed by no more

than 4 alphanumeric characters (for example, $abc2).

This parameter is required.

run-option

is one of the TACL RUN [D] command run options. For details about the RUN [D]

run options, see the

TACL Reference Manual

PATHMON / NAME $process-name [ , run-option ]... /

run-option is:

CPU number

INSPECT ON | SAVEABEND

NOWAIT

OUT log1-file

PRI number

Note. If multiple Pathway environments are configured on a node, do not specify the name

$PM for any PATHMON process on that node. Because $PM is the default name used when

someone opens communication with PATHCOM without specifying a PATHMON name, your

commands might be applied to the wrong Pathway environment.
