336.0. "idle process monitor like DECzap" by TLAV01::ORAPINL () Mon Mar 17 1997 03:52

    Hello,
    
    My customer use DECzap but it can't kill user process who use GEMBASE
    application. I don't have any idea about DECzap, just know that it's
    a software for idle process monitor. I have asked this question to my
    technical support and he told me that the reason that DECzap can't 
    kill GEMBASE application because it doesn't idle. When user login to
    GEMBASE and do nothing for quite long time, my supprt told me that 
    it created sub-process so DECzap didn't kill it because it isn't real
    idle. So I have to look for another product for my customer to kill
    the GEMBASE process. 
    
    Could you pls tell me about the products which do like idle process
    monitor and where I can copy to test ?
    
    Thanks a lot in advance
    
    Best regards,
    
    Orapin

   Before asking, please try a DIRECTORY/TITLE=ZAP (see 313.* here), or
   try a search of HUMANE::SYS$PUBLIC:EASYNOTES.LIS for a ZAP-related
   notes conference (SHARE::ZAP).

   The 313.* note and the ZAP conference point to other idle-process
   killer (IPK) applciations.

   ZAP was retired a while back -- the maintainer is no longer at
   DIGITAL -- and I don't know if the source code is still available.

    Also, have the customer contact the vendor of GEMBASE. If GEMBASE
    doesn't want to be killed, we ought not kill it unless we have adequate
    knowledge of how it works.
