Process Management Programmer's Guide

Chapter 4  Managing a Session Programmatically 

This chapter describes how your program can exercise a limited form of
control over interactive sessions on an MPE XL-based computer system.
Because an interactive session (or a job) is a process created and
managed by the system, a user is restricted from being able to use
process management intrinsics to create, manage, and delete sessions.

MPE XL provides you with two intrinsics that enable you to direct the
system to create a session on a specified terminal, then abort the
session when desired:

 *  "Creating a Session Programmatically" , describes how your program
    can use the STARTSESS intrinsic to create a session for yourself, or
    for other users, on an available (not currently assigned to a
    session) terminal without having to be at the specified terminal.

 *  "Aborting a Session Programmatically" , describes how your program
    can use the ABORTSESS intrinsic to remove (abort) an interactive
    session from your system.
