System Status

Diagnostic Commands

For example, if you enter @1245, the Site Controller will use the current year,
month, and day, but will use 12:45 for the time. If you enter @061245, the
system will use the current year and month, but will use the 6th day of the
month and 12:45 for the time.

You must specify the time in 24-hour time. For example, 10:00PM is 2200.

PRINT MONITOR ## prints messages starting with the record number
following ##. You can use this type of range to print system monitor messages
that have occurred since the last time you used the command.

How To Display Current System State

The disk-based program WOW displays the current state and history of the
system. It must be run from a CRT terminal. To quit the program, press any
character key.

The command WOW -h displays only the current state.

How To Display Buffers in Use

On a CRT display, the disk-based command BUFFERS shows a continually
updated display of buffer usage by type. On a printer, the command prints only
the buffers currently in use.

BUFFERS shows how many of each type of buffer are in use. This command
may help spot Malloc: out of buffers errors. (Malloc stands for memory
allocator.) Use ^C to terminate the command.

An example of the BUFFERS display is shown. It shows the number of free
buffers (Free), the number of transaction-in-progress (TIP) buffers in use, and
the number of polling buffers in use (Poll). Buffers in use are represented as
pound signs (#) next to the type, in hexadecimal, of the buffer. Pound signs
appear and disappear as buffers change type.
