VMS Help System Services, $SCHDWK, Arguments *Conan The Librarian (sorry for the slow response - running on an old VAX) |
pidadr OpenVMS usage:process_id type: longword (unsigned) access: modify mechanism: by reference Process identification (PID) of the process to be awakened. The pidadr argument is the address of a longword containing the PID. The pidadr argument can refer to a process running on the local node or a process running on another node in the OpenVMS Cluster system. You must specify the pidadr argument to awaken processes in other UIC groups. prcnam OpenVMS usage:process_name type: character-coded text string access: read only mechanism: by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor Name of the process to be awakened. The prcnam is the address of a character string descriptor pointing to the process name. A process running on the local node can be identified with a string of from 1 to 15 characters. To identify a process on a particular node on a cluster, specify the full process name, which includes the node name as well as the process name. The full process name can contain up to 23 characters. You can use the prcnam argument to awaken only processes in the same UIC group as the calling process because process names are unique to UIC groups, and the operating system uses the UIC group number of the calling process to interpret the process name specified by the prcnam argument. You must use the pidadr argument to awaken processes in other UIC groups. daytim OpenVMS usage:date_time type: quadword access: read only mechanism: by reference Time at which the process is to be awakened. The daytim argument is the address of a quadword containing this time in the system 64-bit time format. A positive time value specifies an absolute time at which the specified process is to be awakened. A negative time value specifies an offset (delta time) from the current time. reptim OpenVMS usage:date_time type: quadword (unsigned) access: read only mechanism: by reference Time interval at which the wakeup request is to be repeated. The reptim argument is the address of a quadword containing this time interval. The time interval must be expressed in delta time format. The time interval specified cannot be less than 10 milliseconds; if it is, $SCHDWK automatically increases it to 10 milliseconds. If you do not specify reptim, a default value of 0 is used, which specifies that the wakeup request is not to be repeated.
