TOPS20 Change Order Number 4.2120

Written by: DBELL		13-Dec-78 11:22:14

Edit checked: NO			   Document: NO
  TCO Tested: NO		Maintenance Release: NO
Hardware-related: NO

Program: SYSJOB

Problem: 
When SYSJOB is running a job on a PTY, and that job logs out, SYSJOB
creates another job on that PTY for free.  If logins are not possible
for some reason (full, no logins allowed) then SYSJOB will complain
forever every 1/2 second.

Diagnosis: 
Code is stupid.

Solution: 
Make code smarter.  Change the CHKPIN routine to check for null input
before creating a job, and replace PTYPRM with the new routine PTYINI
which will only try to create a new job occasionally.

Problem: 
	There is no way to kill one of several SYSJOB forks all
	of which have the same name, e.g. one of several LPTSPLs.

Diagnosis: 
	The name is not unique to the fork; several forks may have
	the same name.  A unique handle on the fork is needed.

Solution: 
	Add the PURGE command.   It accepts a fork number as an
	argument and will kill that fork.  The fork number may
	be obtained from the printout from the STATUS command
	(it is the first number output for each fork).  Thus,

	PURGE 4

	will kill fork 4.
