- NAME
- Status - Display the currently running CLI processes.
-
- SYNOPSIS
- Status Process F=FULL/s TCB/s CLI=ALL/s COMMAND/k
-
- DESCRIPTION
- The most common use of Status is to find what background
- processes are still executing, this can be in preparation to
- sending them a signal with Break, or to find out if all your
- programs are completed before turning off the computer. The
- various options to this command display information which
- may or may not be useful, depending on your needs. The
- default behavior of Status is to display the CLI numbers and
- names of all currently active processes. You can get
- information on a specific process by typing Status <cli
- number>.
-
- You can also find out if a specific command is executing
- using the COMMAND keyword. This can be useful in scripts,
- since if the command is NOT found, the WARN fail level will
- be set. Otherwise, a 0 fail level is returned. This is
- useful with shells that support command substitution to do
- things like send BREAK codes to processes.
-
- EXAMPLE
- Status FULL ; find out everything about all executing
- processes.
-
- Here is an example using command substitution that will send
- a break to the process executing the ClockPtr command:
-
- Break $(Status Command ClockPtr)
-
- Note that the above assumes you are using ASH. You might
- find it interesting to compare this example with the more
- complex one given in the 1.3 Enhancer manual.
