Interactive Process

An interactive process is a type of process in OpenVMS that is connected to a terminal and accepts input from the user interactively (i.e. its SYS$INPUT, SYS$OUTPUT, SYS$ERROR and SYS$COMMAND point to the terminal).

Interactive processes are created by JOB_CONTROL when a user logs in and get their attributes from the SYSUAF user record.
