What jobs are active when the Director is running?

The command to start the Director on your iSeries system is similar to the following command:

SBMJOB CMD(QSH CMD('cd /minisoft ;
/QOpenSys/QIBM/ProdData/JavaVM/jdk60/64bit/bin/java
-Djava.awt.headless=true
-Duser.dir=/minisoft
-jar /minisoft/Run.jar /minisoft com.minisoft.Director.Director'))
JOB(DIRECTOR) JOBD(EFZUSER)

The Director job calls QShell, QShell starts Java, and finally Java starts the Director Monitor. As a result, when you look in Work with Active Jobs (WRKACTJOB), you see three entries under QBATCH, apparently three running jobs. These entries are tied together under the Director. When you stop the Director Monitor, all of the following items are removed from the Active Jobs list:

QBATCH         QSYS        SBS      .0                   DEQW
DIRECTOR     U0016555    BCH      .0  CMD-QSH          TIMW  Director Job
QP0ZSPWP     U0016555    BCI     7.5  JVM-/minisoft/   THDW  Java
QZSHSH       U0016555    BCI      .0  PGM-QZSHSH       EVTW  QShell
