Figure 5-41 Per process and group time limits

There are two options: the first is to limit the amount of time a process is allowed to run, and the second is the amount of time the entire group can use.

This is not elapsed time, but the time the processes actually spend executing on the server. If these limits are exceeded, Process Control can be configured to either terminate the processes or allow them to continue but generate an event in the event log.

Note: Process Control does not attempt to shut down a process gracefully. It terminates a process immediately. This may cause data corruption or other undesired results with some applications.

IBM Director can be configured to execute an event action plan based on any entry in to the Windows event log from Process Control. To do this, create a Simple Event Filter and select ProcCon as the event type (in the Event Type tab, Figure 5-42 on page 169, uncheck Any, and expand Windows NT Event Log -> System -> ProcCon).
