PATHMON and PATHCOM Startup Commands

Starting the PATHMON Process
CPU number
specifies the processor where the primary PATHMON process executes. This
number can be the number of any processor on your system from 0 through
15. The backup processor is specified with the SET PATHMON command and
the BACKUPCPU parameter.
If you omit this parameter, the default is the processor used by the TACL
command interpreter. Using the default parameter can cause an error later if
the PATHMON process attempts to start its backup process in the same
processor.
INSPECT ON | SAVEABEND
establishes default debugging conditions for the process. The recommended
values are:
ON
directs the file system to use Inspect if a debug operation is required.
SAVEABEND
directs Inspect to create a copy of a process if it abends, and save it in a
separate file for debugging purposes.
If you start the PATHMON process with INSPECT ON and configure a server
class with the SET SERVER DEBUG ON option, the server process within the
class enters debug mode at the time the server process begins operation.
NOWAIT
specifies that the TACL command interpreter is not to wait for the PATHMON
process to terminate, but is to return immediately with a command input
prompt. This option is recommended because the PATHMON process does
not terminate until all objects controlled by the PATHMON process have shut
down.
OUT log1-file
specifies the name of the LOG1 file that is used for logging and reporting errors
and changes in status. If you specify a disk file, use the TACL command
interpreter or the FUP CREATE command to create the file before starting the
PATHMON process. EDIT files are not acceptable log files to the PATHMON
process.
This parameter is equivalent to the LOG1 command described in Section 11,
PATHMON Environment Control Commands.
If you omit this parameter, output is directed to the TACL list file; this is
typically the home terminal. In a production environment, it is recommended
you specify a log file.
