3.3 - Check Process Actions

The dscheck driver starts and restarts deferred commands automatically. It can run either as a long-running daemon (‘-PC -DM start’), or as a short-lived crontab invocation (‘-PC’ run every minute by cron). The driver may run as the specialist’s own loginname, or as PGLOG[‘COMMONUSER’] (default ‘gdexdata’); when run as COMMONUSER it also submits PBS jobs on behalf of every specialist in COMMONUSER’s group that has a properly installed pgstart_<loginname> binary. Operators (and, in non-daemon mode, specialists) can also drive command execution from the command line, interrupt running commands, and email status summaries.

Available actions:

Process Check	start commands from check records (daemon or non-daemon mode).
Interrupt Check	stop a running command and recursively kill its process tree.
Email Check	email a specialist the current status of one or more check records.
