A simple way to see what a single process is doing is to create a new one which will do a single, complete job. When the process dies, it is possible to see all the informations about the CPU time, the I/O, the connection time etc... The way to do it is: $ SPAWN / VMS_command I would suggest to read the options available for this command, which are pretty useful. If your program makes some I/O to the terminal, it is possible to prepare an Input file with all the commands, and call the SPAWN command with that particular file as input stream; in the same way, the Output can be made on another file, to save the results. ------------------+------------------------------------------------------------ Roberto Divia' | Law of Cybernetics Entymology: ============= | There is always one more bug. ------------------+------------------------------------------------------------
