If you specify an application file name using wildcard
characters, all valid executables—without explicit
application records—that match the pattern assume
the group for the application.
For information on how to specify scripts in an apps
statement, see the “Script example” on page 169.
alt_nameX
(Optional) Is an alternate name the application is
assigned when executed. This is common for complex
programs such as database programs that launch
many processes and rename them. It is also common
for shells and interpreters used in scripts; the names of
the scripts are considered alternate names.
Using alternate names, you can place the various
processes of a single application in different workload
groups.
Wildcards ([, ], ?, *) can be used when specifying
alternate names. If using wildcards, enclose the
alternate name in quotes. For information on
wildcards, see the PATTERN MATCHING NOTATION
section in regexp(5).
You can also use an Extended Regular Expression, or
ERE, as the alternate name in an application record.
(For more information, refer to the EXTENDED
REGULAR EXPRESSION section in regexp(5)). If you
do so, the ERE should be the only alternate name in
the record, and it should be within single quotes. For
an example using an ERE with the alternate name in
an application record, see “Renamed application
example” on page 170.
Other records can still have non-ERE alternate names
for the same application. For information on pattern
matching for alternate names, see “Pattern matching
for renamed application processes” on page 457.
