Message Descriptions

This subsection lists the system messages and provides a description of each message.
-2 PROCESSOR DOWN
Cause The operating system did not receive an "I'm alive" message from the specified processor
which was being monitored with the MONITORCPUS procedure. Compare the named process
deletion form of message -2, which is listed separately.
Format The layout of the received message described in terms of an array of words is:
sysmsg[0] = -2
sysmsg[1] = Processor number
Response The response, if any, is application dependent.
-2 PROCESSOR DOWN: NAMED PROCESS DELETION
Cause (C-series-format system message only) The operating system did not receive an "I'm alive"
message from the specified processor which was being monitored with the MONITORCPUS
procedure. This form of the processor down message is sent to the ancestor of a named process
(pair) to indicate that the name has been deleted, that is, the only process running under that name
was in the processor that failed.
Format Although this message has the same number as the preceding message (-2), it is distinguished
by the presence of a dollar sign ($) in the second word. The layout of the received message
described in terms of an array of words is:
sysmsg[0] = -2
sysmsg[1] = $process-name
sysmsg[1] = -1
Response The response, if any, is application dependent.
-3 PROCESSOR UP
Cause A processor being monitored with the MONITORCPUS procedure was reloaded.
Format The layout of the received message described in terms of an array of words is:
sysmsg[0] = -3
sysmsg[1] = Processor number
Response The response, if any, is application dependent.
-5 PROCESS DELETION (STOP)
Cause (C-series-format system message only) A call to the process-control STOP procedure deleted
a process. The stop message is sent to the ancestor of the process and the ancestor of the job
(GMOM).
Format The two forms of the stop message are:
If the deleted process was not named, or if one member of a process pair deletes the other
member, the operating system sends the following form of the message:
sysmsg[0]
sysmsg[1] FOR 4
sysmsg[5]
sysmsg[6] FOR 4
sysmsg[10]
= -5
= Process ID of deleted process
= Header size (header ends at sysmsg[19])
= Process processor time in microseconds
(a FIXED value)
= The job ID; 0 if process has no GMOM
