Property_id Information

ptid--process type identifier (ptid). Identifies the process type. A ptid must be unique for every installation. Because this identifier cannot be changed after installation time, each chosen name must be unique. For example, you can use a name that includes the trademarked name of your product or company, such as Sun_EditDemo. The ptid cannot exceed 32 characters and should not be one of the reserved identifiers: ptype, otype, start, opnum, queue, file, session, observe, or handle.

start--start string for the process. If the ToolTalk service needs to start a process, it executes this command; /bin/sh is used as the shell.

Before executing the command, the ToolTalk service defines TT_FILE as an environment variable with the value of the file attribute of the message that started the application. This command runs in the environment of ttsession, not in the environment of the sender of the message that started the application, so any context information must be carried by message arguments or contexts.
