127.0. "ZAP Interactive System Processes ONLY" by MERIDN::WALSH () Thu Mar 25 1993 13:54

    This is probably a pretty basic question...
    
    I've just set up ZAP at a customer site for the first time and was
    wondering how I can zap SYSTEM INTERACTIVE (user type) sessions but not
    zap processes associated with the SYSTEM account such as SMISERVER,
    CACHE_SERVER etc?
    
    Any help would be appreciated.  I'm finding the manual to be a little
    vague.
    
    Thanks,
    Kristen

127.1	Use the REPORT option	ZAPDEV::MACONI	The Doctor is In	`Mon Mar 29 1993 11:47`	27
	By utilizing the REPORT feature, you can determine what ZAP thinks of every process on the system and, therefore, create an exception database that will perform the functions that you desire. Since all of the system "overhead" processes on the system show up as being DETACHED, you could change the rule that exempts all [1,] processes from ALL to DETACH. This would cause the system "interactive" processes to be terminated as all other users would. An example of this is: Rule Node Username Uic Image Process Term From Until Warn Idle Limit Action ---- ---- -------- ------ ----- ------- ---- ----- ----- ---- ---------- ------ 0 * [,] * DETACH * 00:00 23:59 N * STOP 1 * * [,] * BATCH * 00:00 23:59 N * STOP 2 * * [,] * NETWORK * 00:00 23:59 N * STOP 3 * * [,] * ALL * 00:00 23:59 Y 30 STOP The above exception database will prevent the killing of "overhead" processes (detached), batch jobs and network processes and treat ALL of the remaining processes (mainly interactive) to a 30 minute time limit. Use the REPORT feature to confirm that the rule that you think applies to a process is actually being applied. Keith Maconi
127.2	How do you Report	DARGLE::COUGHLAN		`Mon Apr 05 1993 05:27`	10
	Keith, How do you use the REPORT utility. I have checked all the files in ZAP$DIR and the only reference to Report is a process definition at startup time. I have also checked the documentation and release notes but there is no information on how to use this facility. Any help appreciated David Coughlan
127.3	ZAP V5.0+ required	ZAPDEV::MACONI	The Doctor is In	`Mon Apr 05 1993 14:35`	10
	If you are using ZAP V5.0 or greater, you can generate a detailed problem analysis report by using the command: $ define/sys/exec zap$run_status report The file will be generated as: ZAP$DIR:ZAP$REPORT_nodename.RPT This feature only works if you are using V5.0 or greater. Keith Maconi
127.4	Report Utility excellent	DARGLE::COUGHLAN		`Wed Apr 14 1993 10:49`	6
