<processTest> Step

The <processTest> step is used to verify that a particular process is running on the target host. If the specified process does not exist, the step fails and execution stops.

This step only applies to UNIX® systems.

Attributes for the <processTest> Step

The <processTest> step has the following attributes:

• delaySecs – A required attribute of type positiveInteger, which is the number of seconds to wait before testing whether the process exists.

• timeoutSecs – A required attribute of type positiveInteger, which is the number of seconds to wait for the process to come online before failing. Time starts after the delay has completed.

• processNamePattern – A required attribute, which is a glob-style pattern to use to match the specified process name. This attribute can reference simple substitution variables.

• user – An optional attribute that is a glob-style pattern to use to match the name of the process owner. If this attribute is omitted, the process owner is not considered as part of the test. This attribute can reference simple substitution variables.
