 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]

                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.
