Automated Resources

Process Monitoring
No UNIX process identifiers (PIDs) can be monitored. The monitoring routine needs the start command and the user ID that the process belongs to. This information can be obtained with the UNIX command ps.
TCP Port Monitoring
Exactly one TCP port number can be entered for one resource. SA z/OS monitors the local host as returned by the function gethostid().
File or File-System Monitoring
The existence of a file (belonging to a certain user) is verified. Many applications create files at startup and delete these files when terminating normally. If more than one file should be monitored, this can be modeled as an application group (APG) in the automation manager.
