SINGLE-FILE APPLICATIONS
Establishing a PATHWAY System and Executing an Application
You can use the generate PATHCOM command file to establish a
PATHWAY system by entering a series of commands that result in:
• The creation of a PATHWAY Monitor (PATHMON) process--PATHMON
is the controlling process in a PATHWAY system
• The creation of a log file to which PATHMON can report errors
and changes in status
• The assignment of the PATHCTL file--PATHCTL is a disc file
where PATHMON maintains status information and the application
configuration
• The creation of a PATHCOM process--PATHCOM is the command
interface to the PATHMON process
You can place these commands that define, execute, and terminate
the application in an edit-type file. Figure 4-4 describes the
contents of such a file. Because you can execute the commands in
this edit-type file by using the OBEY command, this type of file
is called an "obey" file.
