ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. What is Process Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Process Manager version 1.0
Process Manager is an OS/2 2.x 32 bit presentation manager program that can
show the properties of running processes. Processes (the programs) can be
switched to, manipulated (maximize, minimize, restore, hide), closed or killed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. How to install Process Manager ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
You can put the Process Manager program file (PROCMAN.EXE) anywhere you like on
your system. PROCMAN.EXE is the only file you need to work with it. Simply
start it from the command line or start it from an object on the Workplace
Shell desktop.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Process Manager's features ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
* refresh
Refreshes the list of running processes instantly. You must use this button
when the system has managed to close and start a program within 100 ms (see
also auto refresh).
* switch to
A process can be activated by pressing this button, or double clicking the
process name in the list.
* restore
This button will send an SWP_RESTORE message to the selected processes using
WinSetWindowPos. The result is the same as if the restore button (one of the
two buttons in the upper right corner of a window) was pressed.
* hide
This button will send an SWP_HIDE message to the selected processes using
WinSetWindowPos. The result is the same as if the hide button (one of the two
buttons in the upper right corner of a window) was pressed.
* maximize
This button will send an SWP_MAXIMIZE message to the selected processes using
WinSetWindowPos. The result is the same as if the maximize button (one of the
two buttons in the upper right corner of a window) was pressed.
* minimize
This button will send an SWP_MINIMIZE message to the selected processes using
WinSetWindowPos. The result is the same as if the minimize button (one of the
two buttons in the upper right corner of a window) was pressed.
* close process
This button will send an WM_CLOSE message to the selected processes using
WinSendMsg. The result is the same as if 'close' was selected from the system
menu of that process's window.
* kill process
Kill process will terminate a process without notifying it. This may result in
a loss of unsaved data (i.e. a text in a wordprocessor). When using 'close
process', the process will be asked to close. Processes will be terminated
using the OS/2 API call DosKillProcess.
* auto refresh
When 'auto refresh' is checked, Process Manager will check every 100 ms if the
number of running processes has changed. If the number has changed, the list
will be refreshed. Of course, if the operating system manages to terminate and
start a program within 100 ms, Process Manager will not notice and the list
will have to be refreshed by pressing 'refresh'.
* process list
This list contains the names of all the processes currently running in the
system. Processes can be switched to by double clicking the name or by pressing
the 'switch to' button. Characteristics of the selected process are displayed
on the right of Process Manager.
* help
This will give you a short description of Process Manager.
* about
'About' will show a bit of product information.
* exit
To close Process Manager press this button.
* pulse
This shows the program is monitoring the running processes, it can be stopped
by unchecking 'auto refresh'.
