A remote process is visible to an operator at the remote host in the same way as it would if it were a local process. However, the remote process appears to be a job, even if it is actually a task. The following is an example of the Y (Status Interrogate) system command display for a remote task:

Status of Job 2022/2022 at 18:20:31
Program name:*UNIDATS/MCS ON DISK
Priority: 50
Origination: Unit 0
Stack State: Waiting on an event
Display: DISPLAY:WARNING: PREVIOUS ALIAS REPLACED: SPARE/UNIDATS/1.

The “ORIGINATION” displayed is always “UNIT 0” if the process was initiated from a remote host. (However, other circumstances can also cause an origination of “UNIT 0” to be displayed.)

The following is an example of how such a task might appear in the J (Job and Task Structure) system command display. No job is displayed for the task.
