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.

In the following example all processes that belong to the user USER are displayed:

USER:/u/user>ps -e

       PID COMMAND
  33554481 /bin/sh
  50331698 /usr/sbin/rlogind2
  33554486 /usr/lpp/netview/bin/cnmeunix
  67108927 /bin/sh
  83886176 /bin/ps
  33554821 /usr/sbin/inetd
  83886472 FTPD    
  67109276 /bin/sh
  16777629 /usr/sbin/rlogind2
  33554924 HSAPYTCP

This means that automation could not distinguish between the two processes started by /usr/sbin/rlogind2. Processes started by identical commands must have different user IDs.
