SYSDPY Help File - SYSDPY Version 4


SYSDPY commands do not echo.  The program processes all commands 
when you press the RETURN key.  You can use the DELETE key and 
^U on an unfinished command.  Typing a space shows you the next
page of data.  Three dashes mark the end of a display.

Possible displays:

ANC     Shows ARPANET connections.
ANH     Shows ARPANET host status.
DN      Shows DECNET status.
DV      Shows busy devices.
EQ      Shows ENQ/DEQ use.
IP      Shows IPCF activity.
J       Shows all selected jobs.  (This is the default display.)
Jn      Shows job n in detail, including JFNs and fork structures.
JTn     Shows the job on terminal n in detail.
M       Shows monitor status.
Qxx     Shows the queues: A=all; B=batch; O=output; L=printer;
        M=mount requests; R=retrieval requests; F=fast; D=detailed.
RE      Shows system resources.
ST	Shows structure status.
TT	Shows terminal status.


General formatting commands:

Bdis	Sets the number of blanks between columns to default value.
Bdis/n  Sets the number of blanks between columns in a given
        display to n.
Ccol/n	Identifies the specified column as column n.
Ln	Sets the number of lines of overlap between pages to n.
NCcol   Removes the specified column from the display.
NT	Suppresses title lines in the display.
S	Shows the next page of data.
S-n	Moves backward by n pages of data.
S+n	Skips forward by n pages of data.
SIn	Advances the the next page of data every n seconds.
Sn	Shows the nth page of data.
T	Shows title lines in the display.

When you display all selected jobs (the "J" command), conditions to be 
met are ANDed together.  Thus a job is shown only if it meets all of the
conditions.  

Commands for particular displays:

A	  Jn display: Advances to the next job that J would show.
          DN display: Shows only the active links.
	  TT display: Shows only lines active in the last minute.
In	  Shows only the jobs which have run in the last n minutes.
m-n	  Shows a specified range of jobs.
n	  Shows a specified job number.
Nn	  Suppresses the display of a specified job number.
NA	  DN and TT displays: Cancels the "A" command.
NIn	  Shows only the jobs which have not run in the last n minutes.
Nm-n	  Suppresses the display of a specified range of jobs.
NO	  Suppresses the display of operator jobs.  (This is the default
	  display.)
NPRxx/xx  Shows only jobs not running the specified programs.
NUxx/xx   Suppresses the display of the specified list of users.
O	  Includes operator jobs with all selected jobs ("J" command).
PRxx/xx   Shows only jobs running the specified programs.

          by slashes.  You can use wildcards.  Jobs not logged in
	  are null names.

E	Exits from SYSDPY.  Type CONTINUE to return.
EN!	Enables you so that you can use your privileges.
Gname	Searches PS:<self>SYSDPY.INI for ":name", then processes commands
	until the next ":".  The default name is SYSDPY.  It executes
        when the program starts.

HC	Types a list of possible columns for display.
HCdis	Types the columns for a particular type of display.

space	Delimits commands when necessary.  A space also functions like 
        the "S" command (shows the next page of data) if it is the first
        character in the command string.  In this case, you do not need to
        terminate the command string by pressing RETURN.
Wn	Waits n seconds between page updates.  (The default is 10.)
