TRACK.HLP %5(5)
TRACK is a program for monitoring the progress and performance
of individual jobs and the performance and utilization of an entire
system. It performs a peek at the object being tracked at intervals
set by the user (Defaults = 10 sec for indiv. specs, 60 seconds for
"USERS" command and 10 seconds for system data) and reports under
criteria set by the user via switches (default= every peek for jobs,
every 30 peeks for system)
COMMAND FORMAT:
OUTDEV:OUTFIL.EXT[PATH spec]=command/SWITCH/SWITCH...
If no file spec appears, the output device is TTY, if a file spec is
supplied, the missing parts (if any) default to DSK:TRACK.TXT[MYPATH]
or DSK:TRACK.TRC[MYPATH], depending on format used.
COMMANDS:
nn Track job number nn
#nn Track job on teletype nn
PPN[p,pn] Track any job with PPN p,pn. [,],[Proj,],[,Prog]
do the usual things, as do [*,Prog,[Proj,*],[*,*]
MYPPN Track any job with same PPN as this job
. Track your own job
'PROGRM' Track any job running program 'PROGRM'
USERS Track all the jobs on the system
at one minute intervals
SYSTEM Track system performance parameters
@Filespec Get commands from indirect file.
defaults are filled in
from DSK:TRACK.CCL[MYPATH]

GENERAL SWITCHES:
/Interval:n Change the inter-peek interval to the value of n (SECS)
/Help Type the help text
/Help:switches Type out list of TRACK's switches
/Help:keywords Type out keywords of /Compare & /Include/Exclude
/List Overide output device, make it LPT:
/Pause Return to monitor level just before beginning
track, so user can give "CCONT", "DETACH" sequence.
/Exit:n Exit after n peeks, or immediatley if no command
yet given
/X:n Same as Exit (NOTE: argument is optional)
/Save:n Every n printouts, save and reopen the output file
/Save Equivalent to /Save:1
/HPQ:N PUT TRACK IN HPQ N WHEN TRACKING. IF N IS OMMITTED,
THE JOBS HIGHEST HPQ IS USED
/LOCK LOCK JOB IN CORE WHILE TRACKING
/MESSAGE:MMM ONE OF "NOPREFIX", "NOFIRST", OR "CONTINUATION"
/FORMAT: MMM CHANGE THE FORMAT OF REPORTS GIVEN.
"TEXT" (DEFAULT) MEANS REPORT IN ASCII TEXT.
"TRACE" MEANS REPORT IN SPECIAL BLOCK FORMAT
BINARY FILE, SUITABLE FOR MACHINE READING.
SEE THE FILE TRACK.MAC FOR A DESCRIPTION
OF THIS FORMAT.
ALSO CHANGES DEFAULT FILE NAME TO TRACK.TRC
SWITCHES USED IN JOB TRACKING:
/Compare:arg,arg Display job data only when there is a
change in the named field. The arguments are the
names for each displayed item. If no args are given,
the default of JOB,TTY,PROG,PRV,PPN,NAM1,NAM2
IS USED
/INCREMENTAL DISPLAY RUNTIME AND DISK I/O INCREMENTALLY
/USER DISPLAY USER NAME AND PPN WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE
/PRIVELEGE DISPLAY PRIVILEGE BITS AND JACCT WHEN THERE IS CHANGE
/STATISTICS DISPLAY USER RUNTIME STATISTICS
/NOKILL DO NOT GIVE FATAL ERROR IF TRACKED JOB NOT FOUND
INSTEAD, KEEP LOOKING FOR JOB.
SWITCHES USED IN SYSTEM TRACKING:
/Group:n Change the number of intervals per report from 30 to
to the value of n
/Summary Give only average and std. deviation for output
I.E. Deletes frequency distribution
/Exclude:arg,arg The args are the four letter codes for each
item in the system report or "ALL". The items are
not tracked for the system report. Exclude and Include
are immediate action switches, so the sequence:
SYSTEM/EXCLUDE:ALL/INCLUDE:JLGN
tracks only the number of jobs logged in.
/Include:arg,arg The args are the four letter codes for each
system tracked item or "ALL" This
switch is used to tailor the system report after an
/Exclude:ALL is done.
/Disk: mmm Controls the disk statistics:
"ALL" gives position wait queue length for all disks
"SYSTEM" gives only those in system search list
NOTE: if the argument is omitted "ALL" is assummed
/Daily: When using /FORMAT:TRACE, causes the output file to
be renamed at midnight to a filename of MMDDYY
/Meter Causes TRACK to use the KL10 performance meter
board for collecting EBOX and MBOX statistics,
for all processors in the configuration.
/Nometer Causes TRACK to not use the KL10 meter board
for any of the processors in the configuration
/Meter0 Causes TRACK to use the KL10 meter board on CPU0
/Meter1 Causes TRACK to use the KL10 meter board on CPU1
/Meter2 Causes TRACK to use the KL10 meter board on CPU2
/Meter3 Causes TRACK to use the KL10 meter board on CPU3
/Meter4 Causes TRACK to use the KL10 meter board on CPU4
/Meter5 Causes TRACK to use the KL10 meter board on CPU5
DURING EXECUTION THE USER MAY ISSUE ANY OF THE FOLLOWING ONE LETTER
COMMANDS:
X Close output and exit the program
F Force a printout to TTY immediately
N Close output and go back to command level
W Give short typeout on TRACK's status
U Output the user name and PPN
P Output privilege bits that are lit
S Output the job statistics line
H Type the help text
NOTE
If the tracking interval is small, figures may be inaccurate
on a loaded system, unless TRACK is run locked and/or in an
HPQ.
