ITO Control Agent Application on OS/2 Managed
Nodes

The ITO control agent on OS/2 managed nodes is a Presentation
Manager application which displays a window that lets you start, stop,
query the status of, and kill the ITO agents. There is no command line
interface available for the ITO control agent.

NOTE

Only the kill operation stops all ITO agent processes. The stop operation
stops all agent processes except for the ITO message agent and the ITO
control agent.

Actions and Programs on OS/2 Managed Nodes

The ITO action agent on OS/2 managed nodes can execute all those
programs the shell (

CMD.EXE

) can execute, as well as actions

encapsulated in DLLs (Dynamic-link Library). For example, frequently
used monitoring actions for OS/2 managed nodes reside in the DLL

opcvend.dll

. This configuration improves performance because actions

are executed very quickly once the DLL is loaded into active memory.
The notation for calling DLL-encapsulated actions is:

<

name_of_DLL

>-><

name_of_entry_function

>

See the templates

os2_swap_util

or

os2_disk_util

for examples.
