Hello, I've a problem with OpenVMS 7.2. I've a task running that take 100% CPU LOAD. If I use PS I get: 20800424 TASK_145A0094 But witch is TASK_145A0094??? Please Help!

Hello Smsc, You should be able to find this process (or task) by entering the command "show system". The first hexadecimal number listed in the output of this command is the Process Id, or "PID". You can use this to kill the process ("stop/id=pid") or get more information on it ("show proc/all/id=pid"). Some other points: - There is no native VMS command called "PS", so I can't be sure what your posted result means. "PS" is probably a command shortcut called a symbol. Enter "show symbol ps" to see what this command really does. - It is not necessarily bad for a process to use 100% of the CPU. It is common when the process is a batch (ie. background) process running at low priority. In fact, it's a good thing to make full use of the CPU you've already paid for. of course, it's a different thing if the process is high priority or otherwise preventing other processes from getting their jobs done.
