HP Process Resource Manager (PRM) manual See Launching a Java program under PRM

	NOTE: For scripts, the full path of the shell/interpreter used in the script must
	appear in either the file /etc/shells or the file /opt/prm/shells.
	For Java programs, the path of the Java being used—as displayed in ps
	output—must appear in either /etc/shells or /opt/prm/shells. For an example,
	see “Launching a Java program under PRM” (page 71).
	You can use wildcards ([, ], ?, and *) to specify the filename, but not the
	directory name. For more information on wildcards in application filenames,
	see “Pattern matching for filenames” (page 32).
	NOTE: If a specified application does not exist, PRM generates a warning.
	This condition is a warning rather than an error so that you can use the same
	configuration file on multiple machines.
GROUP	Is the name of the PRM group in which the application will run.
	NOTE: If GROUP is in a hierarchy, it must be a leaf group (a group with no
	child groups). You cannot assign applications to parent groups. For example,
	in the configuration below, TWO is a parent group and TWO/b is a leaf group.
	#Group records
	TWO:HIER:60::
	TWO/b:3:50::
	#Application records
	/opt/appname/bin/exec1::::TWO	# INVALID
	/opt/appname/bin/exec2::::TWO/b	# VALID
	Consequently, TWO cannot be used in an application record.
ALT_NAME	(Optional) Is an alternate name for the application assigned at execution. This
	is common for complex programs such as database programs that launch many
	processes and rename them. It is also common for shells and interpreters used
	in scripts; the names of the scripts are considered alternate names.

Using alternate names, you can place the various processes of a single application in different PRM groups.

For most binaries and scripts, ALT_NAME should match the first item in the COMMAND column (that is, the command argument with no options) of the output from the ps -efcommand. For Java programs, it should match the first argument to the Java binary that is not preceded by a dash ( - ) in the COMMAND column. For more information, see ps(1).

The alternate name must share the file ID of the application named in the record.

Pattern matching notation can be used to designate a group of similarly named processes. For more information on how to use wildcards and Extended Regular Expressions in alternate names, see “Pattern matching for renamed application processes” (page 33). For details on pattern matching expressions, see the regexp(5) manpage.

If ALT_NAME is not specified for a record, that record matches all processes with a file ID that matches the file ID of the application given by APPLICATION.

Consider the following example application records:

#PRM application records

/usr/bin/database::::business_apps,db_inventory,db_payroll
