8 Example of a System

Management Program

107365 Tandem Computers Incorporated

8–1

The use of TACL for system management purposes combines several tasks:

Starting, stopping, and monitoring processes

Communicating with processes

Acting on responses

Generating commands

Handling errors and other exceptions

This section contains an example of a system management program that checks the
status of several system elements.

Monitoring System

Operation

The macro in Figure 8-1, 

ckup

, illustrates one way to check the status of the following

system elements:

CPUs

Disk space

The spooler

TMF

Device problems:  bad sectors and other device errors

The macro, 

ckup

, uses #CHARxxx routines to retrieve information.  To run this

macro, load the associated file and enter:

ckup

Portions of 

ckup

 require a version of TACL released at C20 or later.  In addition, your

TACL process must be named.

The macro runs as a batch file; you start it and it runs through several tests, displaying
results.  Rather than placing defines at the start of the program, the program defines
procedural variables near the code that calls them.

Other ways to structure system management programs include:

A menu interface, providing selections for various subsystems.

An interactive interface that asks questions and performs more detailed checking,
depending on your responses.

The use of SPI and EMS facilities, as described in Section 7, “Using Programmatic
Interfaces.”
