A system, method and program product for determining and displaying the status of client application programs executing on a multiprocessing server. Server process control blocks and synchronization object descriptors are created in the shared memory of the server. Application program interfaces APIs are linked to the control blocks and descriptors during the execution of the various multiprocessing application programs. A status utility related to the service process monitor selectively accesses information from the control blocks and descriptors to determine the status of the individual multiple processes executing on the server workstation. In a preferred form, the status information is conveyed to and displayed on a video display associated with the service process monitor. In contrast to operating system monitors which disclose the status of all processes as a whole, the present server process monitor particularizes the information to the specific client process. Thereby, the information is of a granularity to identify processes which are hung up on semaphores, message queues, or the like. The information is at the level used by a system administrator or software developer. |
