5.3Process Control
Process Control is software for organizing and managing processes and system resources on systems running Windows 2000. Process Control was developed by IBM and built into Windows 2000 Datacenter Server. For xSeries customers, Process Control is also available for use on:
Windows 2000 Server
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
The Process Control software and user’s guide and is available for download from:
Process Control provides the following capabilities:
Manage two or more processes as a group
Server consolidation by the use of CPU affinity and memory constraints
Secure servers from unauthorized applications or processes
Resource utilization reporting and billing support
Process Control is designed to complement Windows 2000 Task Manager and System Monitor, but not replace them. Configuring Process Control requires administrator privileges on the server.
To uniquely identify processes, they are assigned aliases. This is achieved by creating process alias rules. Once assigned aliases, processes can be arranged into groups and rules applied equally to all members of the group.
