	VIEWSYSTEM

VIEWSYSTEM is a program that allows a suitably privileged user to "watch"
activity on his system. The output display is similar to the SHOW SYSTEM
command.

VIEWSYSTEM displays the following for all the processes running on a
system:

	1. Process Identifier (PID)
	2. Process name
	3. Owner (Username)
	4. Login time
	5. Process state
	6. Image being executed

I have found that I can get a good idea of what is happening on my system
from the above pieces of information.

VIEWSYSTEM has one qualifier /NOSYS which will inhibit display of system
processes. The qualifier must be entered exactly as shown, since I use a
simple method of parsing the command line. You must setup a foreign command
to use this qualifier as follows:

	VIEWSYS (or whatever you want) == "$dev-name:[dir-spec]VIEWSYSTEM

Dev-name and dir-spec should be set to the device and directory where
VIEWSYSTEM is stored. If you put VIEWSYSTEM in SYS$SYSTEM, you can leave
dev-name and dir-spec out.

VIEWSYSTEM is written in Pascal and was linked with VMS version 4.4. I have
included the object module for those of you who do not have the Pascal
compiler and are running a version of VMS earlier than 4.4. Simply relink
the object module. You may include the /DEBUG option in the link command
since I compiled with the /DEBUG and /NOOPTIMIZE options.

If you have problems, you may contact me by phone. You may also send
comments, bug reports, etc by mail. Unfortunately, I am unable to return
calls or reply by mail due to time constraints and our company phone system.
