I guess it should be done with lib$getpji. I followed some examples from the newsgroups, but all they do is displaying the username running the Cobol program... So what I would like to have: bufferio = get buffered io from process X (in Cobol) I hope someone can help me... ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 21 Dec 2007 13:21:21 +1100 From: Jim Duff Subject: Re: COBOL: get buffered IO from process id Message-ID: <476b2323@dnews.tpgi.com.au> ythefoe@gmail.com wrote: > Hi, > > Does someone know how to extract the buffered IO using the process id > (random process), and this in Cobol ? > I guess it should be done with lib$getpji. > I followed some examples from the newsgroups, but all they do is > displaying the username running the Cobol program... > > So what I would like to have: > > bufferio = get buffered io from process X (in Cobol) > > I hope someone can help me... Presuming that by "extract the buffered IO" you mean "get the buffered IO count", then here you go. Obviously, you need to fill in the PID variable by some method, and you need appropriate privileges (either GROUP or WORLD) to request information on other processes. IDENTIFICATION DIVISION.

Jim shows a fine solution for the question asked. If you wanted multiple process counters, then you may want to look at SYS$GETJPI which is only a little harder to program but a lot more efficient. Anyway.... WHY would a cobol program want to know BUFIO (count) ? Do you even know what constritues a direct IO? (folks who know exactly what bufio means, already know how to get it :-) What is the intended usage of the value obtained. "what problem are you really trying to solve?"

For TCPIP services with just the alias strategy (no failsafe process), it is a simple clusterwide lock. First node that gets the lock gets to make the alias IP active. When that node goes out, the lock becomes free and the next node then takes the lock and activates its alias. To simulate it, upi use the IFCONFIG I think it is $ifconfig WE0 -alias 10.0.0.50 which will disable the alias on that node and let the next node take it. $ifconfig WE0 alias 10.0.0.50/16 ipmtu 1500 will re-activate the alias on that node (will go on stand by mode if another node already has it). WE0 is the interface name (IFCONFIG -a to get the list of interfaces on that node) ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 20 Dec 2007 12:19:01 -0800 (PST) From: AEF Subject: Re: quick question Message-ID: On Dec 20, 11:44 am, m.krae...@gsi.de (Michael Kraemer) wrote: > In article , > > > > AEF writes: > > On Dec 20, 9:30 am, koeh...@eisner.nospam.encompasserve.org (Bob > > Koehler) wrote: > > > In article , Malcolm Dunnett > > writes: > > > > > Yeah, but it was no match for Bill Shatner!!!!! > > > > JTK had a habit of talking computers into commiting suicide.

This must be from one of the spin-off series. I've seen only a very few episodes of them.

There was the M5 Unit that took over the ship and Kirk got it to
"commit suicide" for it's sins by shutting down so it could be destroyed
by attacking federation ships that broke off the attack.

There was the Harry Mudd android episode where he and spock got the
controller android to try and solve a paradox that overloaded it.
