Finding out what image is being executed by another process

[Jimson_1]

Hi,

From within a DCL script I need to see what image is being executed on another one of my processes.

Can't seem to do it with F$GETJPI or SHOW PROC/CO

Any ideas?

Yes, you can do with with F$GETJPI, for example:

$ write sys$output f$getjpi("1b1", "IMAGNAME")
DSA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.APACHE.][000000]APACHE$HTTPD.EXE;1

[Craig A Berry]

Yes, you can do it with F$GETJPI, for example:

$ write sys$output f$getjpi("1b1", "IMAGNAME")
DSA0:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.APACHE.][000000]APACHE$HTTPD.EXE;1

Hello

You have a command file in sys$examples that does it, just do

@ sys$examples:working_set.com

Comment the line
$ imagename = F$PARSE (imagename,,,"NAME") ! separate name from filespec

if you want the full image name (disk:image.exe;

Cheers guys.

I've tried using F$GETJPI(pid,"IMAGENAME") but for some reason it returns a null string.

$ write sys$output f$getjp("370020F6","imagname")

$

Sorry I should clarify this a little.

I'm trying to run the correct version of GAWK on one of my sessions, but it keeps picking up the wrong version.

I've checked symbol definitions and the DCL$PATH logical but can't see anythinhg wrong.

On the session running GAWK I have the following output (Control-T'd it to get the process name and then obtained the PID)

P_CC(H1-ACT)$ gawk
_data file(s):
HFCP01::_TNA15: 16:02:32 (DCL) CPU=00:21:02.77 PF=314530 IO=5301382 MEM=327
_data file(s):

Do you have the right privs?

[Jimson_1]

Yes I do have the right privileges.

For example, if I stop the GAWK image, and issue the command DUMP /PAGE A.DAT instead, I get:

$ write sys$output f$getjpi("370020F6","imagname")
DSA13:[SYS1.SYSCOMMON.][SYSEXE]DUMP.EXE;1

a basic
$ show proc/cont/id=pid_of_your_process

shows what image ?

If I'm not mistaken you will get a blank imagename if it is in DCL. Best way I would say to do this is to run your GAWK and on another terminal use the SHOW PROCESS/CONTIN/ID=pid

Once there you will see the image name changing at the bottom as it runs different programs. Then you should be able to determine the version of GAWK that is running.

If your having problems with the wrong version of GAWK running from what you expect, then I would say you have an older version of GAWK installed as an installed image. Do the following:

MC INSTALL
/LIST

Look for a listing for GAWK and see what version it is. If it's wrong then install the proper onw with a replace command in the install utility.
