If /INTERVAL is 0 or not present, then theC system will produce a single display and then display the SYSMON>tC prompt . Pressing the key at that prompt will produce aneD updated display. (i.e., When no interval is specified SYSMON willG produce an updated display on demand.) Typing "exit", or Ctrl/Z will @ cause the program to terminate. Typing Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/C willG interupt the program. A new command string may also be entered afterYE the SYSMON> prompt as is the case for DEC's MONITOR after a CTRL/C.G 2 /BEGINNING /BEGINNING=delta time F This allows the user to schedule th!e starting of the display orH recording process for a predetermined time.

IfNE /ENDING is specified and /INTERVAL is omitted, then /INTERVAL=60 ise implied. 2 /OUTPUTT /OUTPUT=FILEname or device! /OUTPUT=SYS$OUTPUT (default) B " This allows the user to define an output device or file forF SYSMON results. All display output will be directed to that file orF device. If omitted, then SYS$OUTPUT is implied. This qualifier mayF be useful in creating a file of process activities for later review.2 /OLD /OLD (default) /NOOLDG This allows the user to tell SYSMON that it should not report onLH the OLD state of the processes when it updates its display. Once thisE qualifier is set, it remains as #set until explicitly changed or the  image exits.2 /DLB /DLB /NODLB (default)? This allows the user to tell SYSMON to show two lines ofoE information related to the activies of the Touch Technologies, Inc.aG Dynamic Load Balancer (DLB). The first line shows the system dynamicaH parameters which DLB may change. The second shows the translation theB DLB_STATUS_INFO system logical name which DLB uses to record and report its activity.@ If the system does no-t have DLB then those system dynamicF parameters are reported. If the DLB_STATUS_INFO system logical nameH does not exist, then no output line is produced. If it does, then its translation is displayed. C Once set this remains as set until explicitly changed or theg image exits. 2 Examples SYSMOND Run SYSMON to display the processes on the system. This willE produce a single listing of the processes and a SYSMON> prompt. At B the prompt the user may press key at that prompt will produce anD updated display. (I.e., When no interval is specified SYSMON willG produce an updated display on demand.) Typing "exit", or Ctrl/Z will@ cause the program to terminate. Typing Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/C willG interupt the program.
