Hi,
Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find a relevant
entry in this notes file.
A customer of mine has zap installed he wants to kill of idle processes
only if they have no subprocesses? Is there a way of specifying this
in the zap.dat file?
thanks
Avril

Avril,
See discussion on TRACEBACK flag, on page 3-8, of The Reference Guide for
ZAP for VMS 5.3-1, which concerns how ZAP handles processes with
sub-processes.
It says there that if the TRACEBACK is ENABLED ( via execution of
ZAP$DIR:ZAP$CONFIG.COM ) all sub-process activity is billed to the
parent process and if the entire unit is idle, all processes are
stopped.
If TRACEBACK flag is DISABLED, all 'parent' processes, which have
'children' processes are immune, provided the 'children' are not idle.
Only 'child-less' processes ('leaves') are monitored and eventually removed.
This is what ZAP does today. Any extension to this functionality would
mean an enhancement request and would have to be addressed thru the
proper channels ( ASSET Mgmt ).
Best regards, Chris
