From: Provan@LLL-MFE.ARPA I don't have any 4.0 documentation yet. Can anyone tell me what RWAST state in 4.0 means? It appears to be one of the new MWAIT replacements, but I need to know what this job is waiting for and how I can give it to it.

From: Richard Garland <OC.GARLAND%CU20B@COLUMBIA.ARPA> RWAST means AST wait (system or Kernel) in MWAIT. The MWAIT codes are now broken down. I think the code is RWxxx for various Resource Waits and MW... for various Mutex Waits. We got an MWSWP which meant Mutex Wait on Swap file - i.e. swap file too small. We have the documentation but I havn't found a neat list of these yet. Rg -------

From: Richard Garland <OC.GARLAND%CU20B@COLUMBIA.ARPA> I found the MWAIT codes. Monitor manual page 66. They are: RWAST AST wait RWMBX Mailbox full RWNPG nonpaged dynamic memory RWPGF page file full RWPAG paged dynamic memory RWBRK Breakthrough (broadcast) wait RWIMG image activation lock RWQUO job quota RWLCK lock data base RWSWP swap file space RWMPE modified page list full RWMPB modified page writer busy RWSCS System communication service wait RWCLU Cluster state transition wait. I must have hallucinated that other form (MWxxx). Rg -------
