I was at home, logged in viaF telnet (Kermit-95) over a VPN, and noticed from monitor system that itF was running 100% CPU busy (but not too noticeable for interactive use,E since it's a dual-processor system, and right now I'm the only person  using it much.)   G I don't recall what process was tying up the CPU, but it might not have . been any!  (Might have not been in user mode.)  G The next day, when I arrived at the office, I turned on the monitor and H moved the mouse to trigger the screen-saver password screen, but nothingH happened (I think I might have gotten an hour-glass.)  It occurred to meD at that point it might be the screen saver was wedged in a run loop.F So I logged in via telnet, and tried to restart DECWindows, and that's when it crashed.  D So I'm not sure what the looping process was.  However, the process A running Mozilla does show as "CUR 000" in the crash dump summary. ; But it might have been woken up by the DECWindows shutdown.      --   John   ------------------------------  # Date: Sun, 24 Dec 2006 18:43:06 GMT ' From: "PL" <peter@byron.digitalvax.com> < Subject: Re: Suggestion for a lexical (login mode via TCPIP)3 Message-ID: <_Szjh.27355$E02.11305@newsb.telia.net>    Hello,  L I usually check this by detemine of the process has a terminal or not, by if% f$getjpi("TERMINAL") is blank or not.    /P.Lj   > "JF Mezei" <jfmezei.spamnot@vaxination.ca> skrev i meddelandet1 news:d9248$458b5b25$cef8887a$7939@TEKSAVVY.COM... K > One can use F$MODE to find if a process is interactive, batch, network or  > other. > I > Not sure of it is the right one to modify or to add another one, but it F > would be useful to be able to get information on whether the user us comingK >   in via FTP, TELNET, etc. In other words , find out which target service K > on VMS is being used.
