JOB CONTROL

JOB_CONTROL is the VMS Job controller process. The job controller performs multiple functions for VMS:

1. When a new terminal connection is detected the job controller creates a process attached to the terminal running LOGINOUT.EXE to initiate the login process.
2. Processes all VMS requests to write accounting data to the system accounting file.
3. Acts as the client communication to all VMS Queue Managers running in a cluster.
4. Performs Standard Time and Daylight Saving Time clock adjustments.
