Arguments

 

pidadr

   OpenVMS usage:process_id
   type:         longword (unsigned)
   access:       modify
   mechanism:    by reference
   Process identification (PID) of the process to be awakened. The
   pidadr argument is the address of a longword containing the PID.
   The pidadr argument can refer to a process running on the local
   node or a process running on another node in the OpenVMS Cluster
   system.

   You must specify the pidadr argument to awaken processes in other
   UIC groups.
 

prcnam

   OpenVMS usage:process_name
   type:         character-coded text string
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by descriptor-fixed-length string descriptor
   Name of the process to be awakened. The prcnam is the address
   of a character string descriptor pointing to the process name. A
   process running on the local node can be identified with a string
   of from 1 to 15 characters.

   To identify a process on a particular node on a cluster, specify
   the full process name, which includes the node name as well as
   the process name. The full process name can contain up to 23
   characters.

   You can use the prcnam argument to awaken only processes in the
   same UIC group as the calling process because process names are
   unique to UIC groups, and the operating system uses the UIC
   group number of the calling process to interpret the process
   name specified by the prcnam argument. You must use the pidadr
   argument to awaken processes in other UIC groups.
 

daytim

   OpenVMS usage:date_time
   type:         quadword
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference
   Time at which the process is to be awakened. The daytim argument
   is the address of a quadword containing this time in the system
   64-bit time format. A positive time value specifies an absolute
   time at which the specified process is to be awakened. A negative
   time value specifies an offset (delta time) from the current
   time.
 

reptim

   OpenVMS usage:date_time
   type:         quadword (unsigned)
   access:       read only
   mechanism:    by reference
   Time interval at which the wakeup request is to be repeated.
   The reptim argument is the address of a quadword containing this
   time interval. The time interval must be expressed in delta time
   format.

   The time interval specified cannot be less than 10 milliseconds;
   if it is, $SCHDWK automatically increases it to 10 milliseconds.

   If you do not specify reptim, a default value of 0 is used, which
   specifies that the wakeup request is not to be repeated.
