ITEM                  MEANING 

#S485                 This is the session number.  It may also be a job
                      number.

(NOT IN BREAK)        An (IN PROGRAM), (IN BREAK), or (NOT IN BREAK)
                      message to indicate whether SHOWME was executed
                      programmatically, in BREAK, or directly from the
                      MPE/iX command interpreter.

RELEASE: V.UU.FF      The RELEASE: V.UU.FF number is determined by
                      Hewlett-Packard at build time of the operating
                      system and provides an identity for software
                      releases (also known as the MIT). This number
                      cannot be changed.  (Prior to MPE/iX release
                      A.11.70, this was referred to as BASE.

USER VERSION          The USER VERSION: V.UU.FF can be given a value
                      during a SYSGEN and allows you to identify any
                      changes to your total software package such as
                      patch level, third party software, or other
                      specifics.  Any ASCII character can be used.  In
                      prior releases, this number was printed out
                      immediately after the
                      MPE/iX product number HP31900.

HP31900 A.11.70       The PRODUCT V.UU.FF immediately follows the
                      product number HP31900.  It is determined by
                      Hewlett-Packard when a new version of the MPE/iX
                      operating system is compiled.  This V.UU.FF number
                      cannot be changed and is used when entering a
                      service request (SR) against the MPE/iX operating
                      system product for that particular release.

CURRENT               Shows the current time and date.

LOGON                 Shows the logon time.

CPU SECONDS           Shows the central processor time (CPU) used by this
                      job/session.


NOTE SHOWME calculates CPU usage by adding the local CPU usage of the current process to the accumulated total of all terminated processes. The CPU usage listed for a programmatic SHOWME, therefore, would rarely agree with that for a SHOWME executed during BREAK.
CONNECT MINUTES The amount of time the job/session has been connected. $STDIN LDEV The logical device number of the job or session's standard input device. $STDLIST LDEV The standard list device number. Use This command may be issued from a session, job, program, or in BREAK. Pressing Break aborts the execution of this command. Example Refer to "Operation Notes."
