-
- Some additional information about Modula-P programs:
-
- - Every Modula-P program needs exactly one shared memory segment
- and two semaphore sets of the operating system. You may see
- them by executing 'ipcs'.
-
- - For releasing the shared memory segment and semaphores there are
- created automatically up to three control processes in the background
- at the initialization of the program.
-
- - When using COMMUNICATIONS, rpc portmap entries are generated with
- dynamic program numbers beginning at 1073741824 (0x40000000).
- You may see the program numbers by executing 'rpcinfo -p'.
-
- - Every COMMUNICATION started with INITCOM results in four processes:
- First, a remote shell at the local workstation.
- Second, a remote shell deamon at the remote workstation.
- Third, a shell at the remote workstation as child of the second.
- Last, the communication server process as child of the third process.
-
- - At termination of the program, the shared memory segment and semaphores
- will be released, this is indicated by the message
- 'All Semaphores and Shared Memory Segments cleared. Program-System terminated'
- If COMMUNICATIONS were started, they will automatically be stopped, the
- message 'Communications will be stopped. Please wait.' is shown.
-
- - If no error message is shown, all used ressources are released. This will
- take up to 5s time.
-
- - If an error occurs, the control processes in the background will
- release the ressources. This may trigger additional error messages
- e. g. if it is tried to delete a semaphore set twice.
-
- - On an HP-Apollo 700 system, the command "rsh" is supposed to be aliased
- to the remote shell command "remsh".
